you want to bet a million dollars that ps4 will still sell like crazy in japan no matter what these babies say?

Obviously, but it's still a kick in the nuts to consumers that hail from Sony's own backyard.

As opposed to trying to pimp a BroBoxTV after gamers have sworn loyalty and Live fees to you for years?

This article is such bullcrap, sony could tell every japanese gamer that they fat, and smell like sh*t, and then kaz harai sleeps with there mum, and it would still outsell xbox by atleast 20 times

I think that's awesome that Sony understands us as gamers and isn't going to make us wait too much longer. I understand they want money but someone that listens to the people and delivers deserves the sale.

Wow. Morons. Just like Applesexual scum who think Apple is an "American company".

Companies are international. They have no allegiance to any nation. Their profits go to their shareholders, not the people that are in the same country as the headquarters. Human capital and standard of living arise with an educated population that attracts companies to invest in the population by building R&D centers in that country. The profits do not go back to the "motherland"; although, that's what companies like Apple would like you to think.

So, Xbots, now that you know the truth, maybe you should buy a console for its quality, not because it's a console made by your country.

I dont think that anyone here was genuinely under the illusion that MS profits are stockpiled into a giant factory in NY city that turns dollar bills into US flags. I also dont think many gamers buy a console purely because it was made in the USA. As for which console is more quality, entirely subjective. The PS4 certainly doesnt give me that "quality product vibe".

"The 320 stream processors on those chips would have more than enough power to support 360 and PS3 level visuals, especially in a closed-box system." It's generally accepted that the PS3 graphics core is less capable than Xenos, so Wii U's GPU would be even more capable.

The 360 did terribly in Japan. The Xbox One doesn't even have a specific quarter nailed down yet and will likely be launched in Japan after the PS4. I doubt Japan is turning to the Xbox One. "Japanese Gamers Are Disappointed About The PS4 Launch Date" Is the actual title of the article. Not the stupid nonsense you're trying to make it sound like Kotaku's saying.

doesnt really matter what he says kotaku is saying, because kotaku sure as hell doesnt have any japanese sources, unless you count white guys who are interested in battlefield.

Misrepresenting an outlet through lies and making them look bad doesn't matter because, based on your extensive research, Kotaku doesn't have any Japanesesources, and you need reliable inside sources to confirm that a delayed launch date makes people disappointed.

Davekeeh

I wonder if MS gamers in countries where its not releasing this year are going to get so mad that they will all massively buy 360s?

MS fully regrets ignoring Japan now... they buy your stuff when they are mad at you...

Hate to break it to you TC, but no matter how much you get your hopes up, the X1 is going to fail in Japan, so stop dreaming and wake the fnck up already.
