Why Japan? You already answered your own question.
It's a concerning situation really.
Their entire country is destined to die out soon enough. Once you have seen everything the internet has to offer, the real thing becomes very boring.
We have reached the pinnacle of human advancement.
There is nothing left for us in this world, it is all downhill from here.
We are Gods.
as the japanese game market suffers, many publishers have chosen to stick with what is guaranteed to at least have modest success. perverted games in japan have a hardcore niche audience that buys limited edition versions consistently. these games are also very cheap to make, so it is a low risk, decent reward business to be in.
Bingo.
Eroge (or really, Visual Novels), compared to other types of games, cost next to nothing to make, and they always get bought by hardcores. Therefore, there's no reason not to at least have a shot at making them, and hope they make it big (Note this: The Visual Novel/Eroge business is HUGE in Japan. And if you look at Anime adaptations right now, whereas the most popular used to come from serialized Manga, now those have been displaced by adaptations of Visual Novels in the popular consciousness).
This isn't going to stop me from calling Japan my favorite weirdest place on Earth, though.

i use to be stationed there and its normal too them. Hell they go these big ass ARCADES and it be packed as hell with the new games.
there tv shows consist of primarily ANIME. they love to read alot which is why there novel manga business be BOOMING.
there places are small so its the biggest reason y handhelds sell more than consoles their and cuz of the MASS TRANSPORTATION USING THE TRAINS.
the train can take u ANYWHERE WHICH IS VERY GOOD. u be seeing everybody playing there handhelds on the train or reading them manga's or novels
I MISS IT SO MUCH ITS MY 2ND HOME
I've been to Japan before and even tho its a weird place culturally I would love to live there. I lived in Taipei for 2 years when I was younger and I hope to go back to visit someday.
