Rote memorization and cramming is a great way to look good on PISA or whatever the test du jour is, but it cripples creativity and initiative. You wind up with outstanding factory workers and salary-men, but stifled entrepreneurs and innovators. Japan and China do well in industries (e.g. automobiles) that can effectively employ government support along the old zaibatsu model, but they are stagnant and unresponsive elsewhere. After all, when was the last time you played a Japanese made video game? Everything good is coming from North American or European companies like Firaxis, Bioware, Bethesda, Valve, and Rockstar North, or tiny indie developers in the west. Nintendo and SquareEnix just keep making the same games over and over.

Your opinion on the quality of various video games is subjective and doesn't change the fact that companies like Nintendo and Sony have been very commercially successful. Making the same game over and over (cough cough Madden NFL) indicates that the original game was so well conceived that it can be remade again and again and still provide consumers with an enjoyable experience, so it's not really a sign of a lack of creativity, it's just milking the original inspiration for all its worth.John Brown did nothing wrong.
