Although the article is about the entire software industry of Japan, and not about the efforts of one individual, I feel like it does a great disservice to not mention Yukihiro Matsumoto, aka Matz, the inventor of Ruby? Since 1995. How many startups have been launched with that platform as their basis?

Developing video games will come under software development and Japan has world class video game studios for decades now. Kojima Studios is in Japan

Kojima Studios is not that impressive when it comes to volume. Better examples:

* Nintendo first-party studios

* Square Enix

* From Software

* Sega

* Bandai Namco

* Capcom

Note: Sony/Playstation is a Japanese company, but most of its first-party studios are outside of Japan.

I love humor! Can you give a short (5-10 word) explanation of how this is funny enough to make it to number one on this website?

edit: bonus points if you can explain two posts with identical responses within seconds of eachother
