Booming Arcade World In Japan
(1/2) > >>
CoryBee:
I didn't realize that Japan still has a booming Arcade world. I think in the video I even saw a 13 story building with floors dedicated to a players gaming level. In America it is people like us that even try to keep it alive around consoles like Xbox, PS3 and the Wii.

Japanese arcades are prob'ly still in existance due to the fact that there is less "to do". Being a relatively small country with a large population, real estate is limited. So they don't have teh option of huge sprawling golf courses, giant theme parks all over the place, etc. They also seem to value human interaction a bit more than we do....another reason to have a place to play games with friends.

How many kids around here hang out at golf courses and theme parks after school?  :dunno
