I will discuss how the Japanese video market has fallen out of sync with the growth of global video game markets due to the demand for fantasy and surrealist games in Japan. History Fusajiro Yamauchi formed the company Nintendo on September 23, 1889 under the name “Nintendo Koppai”. The company began by selling playing cards and the name itself even meant, “Leave luck to heaven”. These cards were famous for being handmade and grew in popularity across Japan.

Akio Morita, the founder of SONY, was born in Nagoya, Japan, in 192. In 1946, Morita joined Masaru Ibuka to found Tokyo Tsushin Kogyo KK (the Tokyo Telecommunications Engineering Corporation).

Background of the Kittyhawk project In early 1990, Hewlett Packard’s (HP) Disk Memory Division (DMD) leaded by Bruce Spenner, held a profitable piece of the market with its high-performance 5.25- and 3.5-inch disk drivers and sales of $519 million (by 1992). Although HP’s DMD had not introduced 2.5-inch drive at all, as competitors within that market were too strong to attack directly, by 1991 Spenser was convinced that new disk-drive architecture with an innovative design could take the computing market by storm and that HP was the company to create it. In June1992, HP presented “Kittyhawk” - the world’s smallest hard drive which has 1,3 diameter and had 20 Mg of storage.
