In the days before the 00s struck, western developers were far sparser on the console scene, and the heavy hitters we know today were primarily developing titles on the PC (not all, but I’m making a generalization there). Japan was the driving force of the console market, and they were very adept and working with limited resources to make something that made the most of those restrictions. When gaming consoles adopted more and more PC-like framework, it invited in the PC market who saw the chance to appeal to an untapped market. What we have today is the result of that shift, for better or for worse.
