Japan does not have a big enough domestic market, which means their industrial policy requires a lot of foreign cooperation to be effective. Once others started seeing them as a threat their game was over.

As an IT industry analyst, Japan also seemed always determined to do things their own way--see Itanium. Which made things more difficult for selling to a wider marker. Could make some of the same comments for Europe for which I also attended a variety of industry events.

China tried to promote TDSCDMA for 3G, which also didn't work. At least they didn't make it their exclusive choice. In their more successful cases they didn't pick winners.
