So, there is your answer. All the hardware design+implementation should be done in Japan for the big 3, its only the sampling and programming are shared by US + Europe along with Japan.

One reason why I feel that that the Japanese 'shy away' is because of their less articulate English skills (understandably) compared to the western counterparts who feel very comfortable in front of the camera. But they are pretty amazing when it comes to audio and electronics, I must say.
