Death toll estimated at 10,000.00

Fear of nuclear reactor.

Man this thread was really not needed

Animal-Mother

this thread is not that bad.... there was another thread about it, it came out as soon as the news of the earthquake were released. it felt more along the lines of "lol sony got pwned!!!!1!" now that was bad.

this one is nice, TC even starts by saying how he feels about the situation in general.

Unbelievable. This thread should be locked and you should be banned. 10000 people have died in japan and youre hoping to benefit from it by the possibility of PS3 sales suffering? Youre making light of the situation posting your little smiley faces? I dont see how anyone can hate a piece of plastic that much as to hope the deaths of others will make their most hated console suffer in sales. Do you even care that innocent people have died?You need help Rybe.....

I think video games are probably the last thing on the people of Japan's minds right now.

You do know TC has a passionate bias against PS3, right?

Nvm mind the fact I volunteered over a 100hrs for Hurricane Katrina, I live in Houston. Having a sense humor in the worst of times is not a bad thing.

Thing is, he does hate PS3 and would like nothing more than for this tragedy in Japan to cripple its sales.

EDIT: I mean, given his history, why else would he make this thread, and on friggin' SYSTEM WARS of all places?

Not sure about the gaming division but the Sony Blu-ray factory in Japan was impacted by it. http://www.blu-ray.com/news/?id=6006

Knowing Rybes Anti-PS3 history here in SW and what happened to Japan recently, this is a new low for him.

Terrible. :|

Wow, gotta love this blatant over reaction. He's quoting a news article "But OMG how can news comment on PS3 at dis time when dey got all da earthquake to think about" The smiley face is purely down to Gamespot not liking an 8 and a ) next to each other. And also he was asking what long terms effects people think this could have on the production of the console, this discussion could easily be about ANY trade service in Japan. I honestly think replies like this are worse than people who actually joke about stuff, just because you make out like everyone is disrespectful when they're merely passing on information and discussing something that will be discussed a lot by the media over the coming weeks.

[QUOTE="MushroomWig"]People are dead left right and centre, thousands of people still missing and a potential nuclear leak...but are the PS3s okay!? Jesus guys, get your priorities sorted out.

With respect, I post about the seriousness of this tragedy on a news forum. This is a gaming forum. Nothing wrong with this thread, imo.
I don't even think PS3's are made in Japan. There made in Thailand or something. Nonstop-Madness
China, like most everything. turn your PS3 over, it's there.

That was for pear harbor.

I think firebombing all of their cities and Fat Man and Little Boy more than made up for all the terrible things the Japanese did.

Like I implied before, knowing rybe's history here makes it difficult (to say the least) to give him the benefit of the doubt.

Eh, who cares about history, I'm on about this topic and I see nothing in TC's post that says "finally PS3 is gonna lose in sales!" or even anything remotely fanboyish.

Well of course he's not gonna say something like that outright because he wants to avoid the mods.

Guys, it's a perfectly legitimate topic...we all wish the best for Japan, that goes without saying but we're on a gaming website discussing gaming issues here.

Anyway, on topic...i'd imagine the whole situation would affect Sony and Nintendo considerably, they're gonna need their houses back before they replace their gaming systems e.t.c. The NGP is more likely to suffer than the PS3 though i reckon.

Also, i'm sure none of us will see FFversusXIII for another 12 years :P

*looks at TC..

yeah right... its a legit thread, but knowing your history and how you claimed that ps3 is DEAD LAST in sales/this gen, somehow, on the back of my mind, I think you're kinda happy that ps3 sales will go down further.. i mean seriously, talking about sales after so many people died? WTF men!

you can always make a thread like.. "what will happen in japan's gaming industry in general".. pinpointing out ps3 of all proves you really stooped down low.. i pity you..

I wouldn't mind a question like this if we were talking about Japan as a whole and how we think it'll affect their economy in general, but this is a bit offensive to the Japanese. Even worse is the fact that you just know some people are going to be complete idiots and make jokes about them dying, making a thread like this is like opening Pandora's Box.

Guys i think everyone should relax, I can understand all of your concerns, and Rybe even though it is a legitimate question it appears very insincere to the thousands of lives lost. For that reason i will lock this thread.
