Actually if I remember correctly, it's one of the few things that IS explicitly stated.

The list of characters leaked a while ago seems pretty much confirmed as real...

That's right of course, for some reason I was just thinking in console terms.

Hmmm... no. Western gaming industry has surpassed the Japanese one. The sheer amount of games produced and funds invested in the west are probably superior to Japan's output, though frankly it's natural, with Japan being just a country versus the whole of North America and Europe. As for gaming culture, we have almost…

New trend of the industry #2: Rebooting popular series of the past while changing over their genre completely, mostly transforming them in FPS.
