1 edit | Also..... The price cut is only going to be IN japan, no where else according to MSNBC. Stupid move on Sony's part to not lower prices anywhere else.
Edit: CNN, but I am sure MSNBC has this as well. | |

| Re: Also..... Sony's first and biggest market is Japan, so smart move by Sony. The Japanese gaming industry (console, game developers) make games for the Japanese market...no one else. The US market is a drop in the bucket. Sony doesn't have to lower prices for US gamers. | |

| Re: Also..... Except Sony is only releasing 100k PS3 units in Japan, compared to the 400k they are releasing here at launch.
Can you say "deliberate famine"? I knew you could. 
Sony did the same shit with the PS2 and its memory cards on purpose.
I smell the makings of yet another long series of class-action lawsuits because of purposely faulty units by them.

Can you say Japan has a smaller per capita population than the United States AND sold many more PS2s in the U.S. than in Japan?
Sony announces that they will have 2 million units out by the year's end. | |

| Re: Also..... When they're completely bypassing the UK market altogether (where they have been strongest with the PS2), it seems a pretty blatant omission, and I'd have to call bullshit on their claiming that they'll have 2M units out on the market.
Even if they do ship out 2M units, I'll be willing to wager that there will be more than 10% of those defunct or otherwise broken. This is Sony we're talking about.

| said by C0deZer0 :When they're completely bypassing the UK market altogether (where they have been strongest with the PS2) UK sales of the PS2 do not overshadow US sales. UK sales exceeded expectations for the PS2, however the United States is still the number one buyer. If you ask me all this simultaneous release business is stupid to begin with.
said by C0deZer0 :...and I'd have to call bullshit on their claiming that they'll have 2M units out on the market. That and $.50 will get you a cup of coffee. Tell you what. If they don't get 2 million units out the door by January 1st you can hunt me down throw it all into my face and I'll take it like a man. Until then it's just rhetoric and biased predictions.
said by C0deZer0 :...I'll be willing to wager that there will be more than 10% of those defunct or otherwise broken. Kinda like the original Xboxes that scratched your disks or the Xbox 360s that overheat? I don't see why you should get all worked up about the initial units anyway because it's obvious from your posts you have a major bias against Sony. You're not gonna buy one. And again... how about we wait until the reports come in regarding quality. | |

I'm not seeing how Sony's "biggest" market is Japan. | |
