I don't really know anything about the games industry, but I worked in Japan as a web programmer for about a year. The other programmers were pretty bad, probably the worst I've ever worked with. I also got the impression that programming was viewed as kind of a lower class job, something weirdos and foreigners did. Somehow I got lucky and was paid pretty well, but the local guys were making horrible salaries.
