@All - Guys this Japan we are talking about. I'd suggest the bare minimal presence in Japan and go for China instead as MS seems to be making inroads into China anyway.
China hates Japan for good reason and the same is vice versa. Stick with China and drop Japan like a hot brick.
Japan's economy is buggered and it's not worth the effort.
@All I prefer the phrase "Beauty is only skin deep, but ugly goes right to the feckin bone"
That said the games gonna be great.
@caseh - So parent have no clue?, they are mongs then?... For everyone I know it's more like this "Kids, go to your room and play with your toys, I don't care if you are now bored with your old toys and now either want a green one or a blue one, you spoilt little brats'"
"Mum and Dad will now rape the internet for the best deals possible and pretend Father Christas has left them to you ungrateful this sh!ts."

@All So first we have Sony testing Giakai Streaming, about time too. Then we will have MS testing Rio Streaming so both new gens will have backwards compatibility streaming services.
That sounds like a win-win for all concerned.
So MS are running cloud compute along with dedicated servers for the whole xbox live ecosystem. Cool. The whole thing is running on the Azure cloud infrastructure so it's pretty much all cloud tech.
Not sure about...
Don't think so... The Chinese hate Japanese and vice versa. Most common reason given was the mass genocide of the chinese by the Japanese in pre WW2 and during.
China and America on the other hand, their relationship is very good, afterall America are the only counrty to use atomic weapons on another country and of course they bombed the Japanese so China will have loved that.
This is a grey area but Japan has little to no chance of being accepted by the ...
@Why o why - I think it's less spiritual and more to do with the Japanese invading China in the 30's. Japan and China are not that friendly towards each other.
I expect that doctorine to effect any sales for the Japanese Corrp.
Some predudice never die not that I blame them.
just for luaghs read this article following a survey over 9 years.

@All, Sickbag anyone? In all honesty crying over a toy is vomit inducing.
OOOOh shiny!.
Love underwater stuff, since I'm terrified of water this is great escapism. Interesting idea of new genres. I think it might just blow my skirt up!
Rock climbing, bungie jumping and bridge swinging, piece of piss, swimming... Kiss my arse!
Agreed, I couldn't care less about Japan. The economy is not big enough to care about and I no interest in Japanese exports of any kind.
@xHeavyx - Thats not what amazon are saying, they are saying they hold a high value on X1 D1 trade in's and you could by a ps4 with the money.
There is a big difference between making a "mistake" and deciding to get the best return on your purchase. I could trade in my X1 and buy a use car if I wanted. Different reasons for different people.
My brother has already dumped his PS4 because none of his friends are on it. He got £400 from one of...
@2muchw1nn1ng Completely agree with you that apart from a few games most are p!ss poor on narrative.
Let's face it, games can't hold a candle to a book or even dare I say it, the occasional independant film.
I think games have decades to go before they can be taken seriously not because of the fact they are games but because of genuinely dreadful narrative from writers.
So, we either wait for the older generation to die out or hire ac...
@Darrius Cole - WOW
How dare you tell someone their own mind.
If you don't like Xbox, don't buy it, don't talk about it and don't dare tell someone that their decision was based on some jaded misinformation, idiocy or emotional weakness.
I could say the same thing about your decision to adopt the PS4 citing reasons as Brand Loyalty, Blind devotion, Blind love of the Japanese etc... but I won't.
On Topic: I...
Agreed, open and honest. It's the same experience I've had since 25th (didn't unbox mine till Monday after the Name of the Doctor. (Doctor Who Rules!)
But since then the system is great, fast and easy to use and the games I got a great
@Wolokowoh - I enjoyed your post but found the idea of comparing prose from talented authors like;
George R.R. Martin
J R.R Tolkein
To the excrement prose produced by the game industry wrong.
The story for the last of us was OK, that all, not great or even brilliant. It was just OK. However because it was aimed at gamers, it was made to become something it wasn't. Kind of like a golden turd, you know pretty but dull.
@all Is it me or does Mikeslemonade sound like a bush-whacking hill-billy red neck? Your no relation to "Daisy Duke" by any chance... Loved that show.
On Topic: I've played on ps4 and ps3, and I must say that DS3 was terrible, felt like a toy in my hands. However the DS4 is much more solid though, I can see what people are worrying about sticks material for heavy handed users.
OMG NOOOOOOOO. If it wasn't bad enough that they murdered a great british drama (See the original House of Cards by Michael Dobbs for comparisom) They want to make it worse by create a game of it!.
Don't get me wrong Kevin Spacey I think is a great character actor but to first remake perfection that was the British series and generally f*ck it up like they did with Series one is one thing but to make a game out of this is a monumentally dreadful idea!!!!
Seriously cool environments, very atmospheric. This will be brilliant in X1 and PS4 titles.
This is going to be bitchin!!
New's just in. My local store has 18 PS4's in stock still and according to Sony they are sold out.
Death's point is proved!, Vindicated even ! (bubble up to you death)!
Now children, go out and play before daddy slaps your legs for you.
@All - To be honest this is a moot point. Development is not a question for end users. It's a question for developers.
If the posters on here are incapable of developing software, or have no experience in working with the hardware in conjunction with software, then said posters have no right to an opinion.
Put more clearly, if you're a none developer, your thoughts and opinions are not worth writing let alone listening to.
It's a ...
