I also want to add that a lot of my bias comes from the fact that I work in gaming journalism. Back then we still published on physical magazines. I went to Japan for the debut of the PlayStation 2. I came back with a Sony Vaio laptop and a few other gadgets that you couldn’t even buy in the US at the time. All made in Japan. That is what Japan was like back then. Now you find very little exclusive stuff and nearly all is Made in China.
