He seems cool.

My pitchfork is ready, becuase with the Playstation it’s all a waiting game. But I think TGs will kick start Japanese support. They can see Microsoft’s relative ‘success’ with it.

I bloody well hope so anyway.

I’d prefer avoid a couple or one megaton and have tons of little ton-lets at TGS.

@Tonka
It can be a reason why the PS3 isn’t doing so well without the same rule being applied to the 360. There are other reasons for the 360 not doing well over there.

This bloke seems far too clued up and knowledgeable. His time at Sony must be numbered.

If there was any truth to this then the 360 wouldn’t be in third place over there.

Rubbish, bullshit and lies.

@juuken: Well, we’ve been waiting for two years now for them to ‘do something about it’ and they don’t appear to be showing any signs of getting off their fat arses yet. It’s all very well begrudging a lack of software when you’re not actually producing much yourself. Sony’s PS3 output has been hugely skewed towards the West.

I wonder how You-know-what will fare over there. Somehow, with the Japanese obsession with sticker booths I think it’s going to sell like hot dumplings.

Blerk, they’re going to do something about it, trust me.

Also, I’m really not sure of the wisdom of dropping huge interviews in one go. It’s a waste.

Of course it is! So why don’t they do something about it?

And I think he’ll find they’re not “waiting” to spend their money – they’re already spending it on Nintendo stuff.

Why are we just getting these reports now, by the way?
