Their focus is on the gaming part. Though, it has become a bit better in the last years, but usually because Japanese Companies have diversified into international teams.

Most Apple products say "Designed by Apple in California".

So when it's technically bad, it's because the company doesn't have foreigners, when it's good it's because non-Japanese people are working there. Noted.

> Japanese games are often notorious bad on the technical details. You have to be from a parallel planet or a limited bubble to not notice that Japanese games have always generally had fewer bugs than Western games, and much less need for patches, ever since arcades and the NES.

  If there are fewer features, then there are naturally fewer bugs.

    Tears of the Kingdom is more featureful than the last few Assassin's Creed games and worked out of the box, which is more than I can say for today's Ubisoft products.

    Seems like you're going to twist it around to "West is Best" chauvinism no matter what. Elden Ring Demon's Souls Death Stranding Resident Evil 4 Final Fantasy 7 Street Fighter 6 Final Fantasy 16 Armored Core 6... Every major PS5 game in the last couple years, was virtually flawless on release day. And of course Nintendo is still scoring hits with almost everything. Meanwhile on Reddit everyone is crying about the PC versions, of even PC-only games! Starfield has been a bug ridden joke, typical of Bethesda, one of the flagship Western studios, still unable to improve their janky physics and cringey NPCs. Diablo 4 gave me the only crashes I have ever seen on the PS5. Harry Potter, Redfall, Immortals of Aveum... overhyped flops. Baldur's Gate 3 has been the only saving grace from the Western gaming industry that I can think of.

    That's often a good tradeoff than average user think

  Look at the PC ports. Games tied to FPS which results in poor in-game physics behavior. Inability to change settings. It's like they live on some other planet not us... Devil May Cry 3 and Dark Souls 1 jumped to my mind immediately as notoriously bad ports. Even DMC4 and DMC5 have some problems. FromSoft games improved the quality of their ports on the other hand. I do understand that Japanese mostly play on consoles but nowadays it's not an excuse anymore.
