 I wouldn't be suprised... Play Station looks "cool" from a westerner's 
point of view (?) and Saturn looks like a Anime Geek's (sp?) machine 
(?)... I think I read this some where before...
 But look at it the other way; all the games that comes into Japan from 
the West are "3-D tactics" or "real graphics" or "lots of fire pwer and 
destruction" or "high tech stuff" with lots of cool guys and mech and 
sexy women... The Japanese games are "pretty girl (gals), but not sexy, 
and some are even 2-D, etc... you know what I mean?
