2. On the whole, Japanese games aren't as hard as the Western equivalents simply because there is a much larger base of gamers to satisfy out there, with more casual gamers, so games that are really hard would be given up on by a large proportion of gamers. Obviously though, Ikaruga, Radiant Silvergun and other shooters like that started life in the arcades, so only hardened fans would be buying them anyway.
