So, it was basically consoles in the west what killed arcades? I still don't understand how they are still popular in Japan but sometimes I think tournaments and stuff would be way better sometimes if we had arcades.
Mind you, in my country the options are more limited, mostly pirated MVS with KoF, and Pump it Up machines, maybe a Beatmania here and there.

Well, one thing that helps Arcades stay relevant in Japan is/was that game developers there create Arcade exclusive games.
But that's wrong you little shit.
Did you grow up AFTER arcades all closed down save for dave and busters?
It was a bunch of shit.
But you know it was those faggots with those big noses.
There is a video from History Channel that explains how some of those work and are literally designed to not hold onto the stuff, but apparently the operator can decide how much pressure the claw will have and thus allow people to win more often.
Then I wonder why don't we have arcade exclusive games here, I mean, for starters they could have exported more to the west.

I think it has something to do with the higher population density in Japan. It's probably far easier to get to a game center than in many western countries, which makes the act of going more appealing, and each arcade has a larger pool of regular users.
Not to mention the Japanese have a slightly different viewpoint on Arcade games.
Want to get maximum gametime for your money? Attempt to single credit the game, and if you fail, just start again from the start.
That is literally the basis of "git gud" and I don't understand how core gamers in the west, even with that in mind don't seem to be drawn to the challenge unless it is Metal Slug in some cases.
Try harder next time.
