That comment is so wrong on so many levels, how do you explain the PS4 and it's games then? I don't get why people think Japanese games are niche (some are) or are in the minority.
Personally if they balls up anything, it will be the price, that's what will let the Scorpio down in the end.
I imagined them smoking cigars and fanning themselves with wads of money.
I played this as a kid, if it's cheap enough I'd pick it up.
@KillBill Playstation has set a stupidly high hurdle for the Xbox/Scorpio to jump, I don't believe Scorpio will add that many sales by the end of the year. It's a pretty tall order.
Yep, it's go no chance, need I remind anyone that Scorpio is making the same mistake the PS3 made during it's release. Console gamers in general do not want to spend that much on hardware, it was proven again at the beginning of this gen (that's why the Xone dropped the camera).
Like Joab777 said, you couldn't have gone wrong with either choice, I'm pretty confident you would have been happy either way.
I've never understood the hate for Japanese games. Most people I've got to try them have stated it was better than they thought (at this point they may have also admitted it wasn't the type of game that appeals to them) or I've ended up sucking a person or two into a particular series.
There's nothing wrong with the foundation that's Xbox's built (although I have to question what you mean by "Xbox power for graphical dominance", it sounds like a buzzword from a sales pitch). If anything you can argue the initial Xone reveal hurt the brand at the beginning of this gen.They just need to attract devs and push games, that's a significant weak point for them (actually Nintendo had that problem too apart from 1st party games, that's probably why the...
They don't necessarily have to have Japanese games, but it would certainly help their anemic catalogue. But I completely agree with your post.

I think to a degree you should care, things are best when there is competition, the PS4 may not have been as good as it is if the PS3 didn't get a good thrashing at the beginning of the last gen. Sony learnt from their mistakes, Microsoft is repeating some of them (it's actually worse because they're not gaining any traction at all, they're actually losing it).

I think that was partially the PS3's problem when it released last gen, they wanted it to be the media center of the house ("it only does everything"). This gen they simplified it down to the basics necessary for gamers.
It's annoying when i can't show my friends how good a game is, I could screenshot it with my phone, but it's not ideal (difficult on faster paced games).
I strongly doubt it will flop, although we may have mass buyer's regret instead.
I would give you more agrees if I could.
I always remember FF7/8/9/10 feeling huge to me, more recent games not so much (FFXV actually feels small to me, probably because it's wide open spaces with little to no towns or cities).
Armored Core? Please...
Don't forget Ryzen is still optimized and maybe for a long time (6 months, a year?), so the performance will probably go up, also, AMD sockets age better, you'll probably be able to use Ryzen's successor in an AM4 when it's released.
We have an EB which I believe is the Australian equivalent of Gamestop, I just buy my handhelds and consoles there, everything else is too expensive (it was a different case when I was a kid). Strange their sales would go down on new AAA titles (I wonder what this quarter is like for them considering PS4 release schedule).
I don't believe there's any issue making a console as powerful as a pc, just the cost and marketing that's an issue.
