Why do you think arcades in the U.S. is no longer one of prime places for teenagers to hang out these days? Because most of kids are playing games at home using consoles connected online, teenagers do not have to leave their home heading to a mall to play games. Same thing in Japan.
Sure if you look around, you can still find arcades in Tokyo but for computer video game makers arcades are no longer place they use to display their new products. If you are talking about Pachinko then that is different story.
What is Pachinko without “Pa”?
