How deep do you think Nintendo is since they always seem 'different' yet often times don't listen to their fans of what they REALLLLY want. Like Beedle the fans wind up just shrugging and say 'I'll buy ANNNNNNNNNNNYYYYYthing!'.
Sony fans are not as inclined though they do have their bad moments but at least appear to be more intelligent instead of 'We don't care about graphics so SHUT THE HELL UP!" No microphone for you buddy!
Every other megacorp is elite related. The Japanese elites most likely had a secret society that is less well-known that say, the Freemasons.
How non-organic and corporate they are, however, depends on the location, and Japanese video game companies generally don't go EA levels of unhinged. (Konami is an exception but even they don't have THAT type of corrosive-invasive acquisition crusades against smaller companies.)
