Namco Bandai disagree. As do most of Japan. And the Japanese are extremely environmentally conscious (barring of course, the unavoidable Fukushima incident). Also, there are only 128 Million Japanese.
Japan isn't exactly a massive place. Let's put it in perspective: there are 'only' 60 million people in Great Britain, whose habitable area is about the same. In Japan, well over 95% of the population are Japanese. In Great Britain only about 80% of the population are British. Going by that logic if there is a problem in…

The Japanese population will fell under 100 million in the near future if that trend continues.That's always a bad thing since developing countries have rapid population growth and in the future they'll be gain more power to compete already developed countries.There's an applicable rule to the all world:More wealth,less…
