I did not realize it was such a negative word. I always thought it was the short form of referring to Japanese people. If I've offended anyone, I'm sorry.
I'll admit when I'm wrong.. I wish MS did also with their strategy in Japan.
Implication of racism in my post is far from the truth. Why don't see give me a sensible response?
Not having potentially 1/4 to a 1/3 of the total install base taken into consideration is stupid for even being mentioned. No Jap dev is going to make Jap style games for NA and EU markets. A Jap dev would lose all credibility in Japan. If Jap wasn't that important why try so hard? If it wasn't that important, the decision would have bene made a long time ago.
This is the definition of failure. Ok, its one thing to not make it. Its another thing to not make it and not ack...
Is a European style game? I've seen and can clearly distinguish a Eastern and Western style game.
Just because 'Mario' is on the title name doesn't mean a multi-million seller. This is why you are where you are Sega Sammy.
Although I like the idea of expanding the PS2 business to emerging markets and by the way, it will be very profitable ... its never a good thing when the only two good things out of TGS is Dual Shock 3 and infinite support of PS2. There is still one more day with the TGS.
Times a ticking ... tick tock ... tick tock ... tick tock ...
Madden's, I think you should write a letter to Sony regarding TGS with the title, "YOUR PR AND MARKETING DECISION MAKERS F'E...
Well deserved, although I still think the title doesn't deserve a 10 ... maybe 9.7, but no 10 :)
Take notes Sony, this is how your successfully market a title.
Madden's and I have been asking all sports fans to boycott EA. There is a reason why folks. Why fuel the fire of mediocrity? Keep sending those complaints in. Keep writing to EA. Write to your congressman! Write to the president. EA needs to get back to reality. Bring back the good old Genesis days.
She is out of her league on this one ...
Although the sales aren't bad, its still of an indication that PS3 owners are hesitant to buy a game that is short on gameplay hours.
This game probably will sell about 200,000 - 250,000 total this month.
In the back of my mind, I hope it doesn't do well. Why, because it would accelerate the potential for a price cut and or a $399.99 PS3. As much as I repect Kaz for pushing games during TGS, it is written clearly on the walls on what is needed to drive sales th...
Although a sequel is pretty early. Take your time on it Evolution. While your at it, enrich the original via the PS network.
I'm expecting more over the top arcade style racing action.
I don't know ... let me pick, Halo 3 or MGS4 .... hmmm that's a tough one.
Great decision although most of us saw it coming :)

My own take on Lair + suggestions on Lair 2. Those that claim its the worst game of the year have never played it.
It would make up for the Home delay. I also agree with Bigmac. Its not technically a Rumble delay. NA and the EU have to wait their turn to get rumble controls.
I would love a MSG4 demo on Sept. 27th. Heck, I'd lock for it to be released on Sept. 25th.
I think the Final Fantasy VII game (new game) will still be announced sometime during TGS. I however do not expect anymore discussions on price-cut and/or a $399.99 unit until October/November. If anyone is going to announce that it'll be Jack Tretton (
Here is what people are forgetting though ... 40 playable titles at TGS and we still have 2 more days!!!!!
From IGN blog ..
7:28 p.m. -- The Nikkei guy presses on about the price, and Hirai says that a price drop is possible.
7:27 p.m. -- Hirai says, no surprises this year. Price is very important, but at the same time, how we can further enrich the product is also important.
7:26 p.m. -- The Nikkei guy is mentioning the price drop from last year.
Sony, Sony, Sony .... this would have been an opportune time to announce a Jap price drop. It w...
Recognize talent and sign em up. Its how Sony got the Little Big Planet guys.
"I'm sorry sajj316, I can't answer your question or rebut your argument"
this is a forum for debate right? I'm debating and not making cry baby comments.
Going multiplat since Squenix had no reservation in annoucing via the trailers that FFXIII and FFXIII versus is exclusive.
It would make much more sense to keep it on PS3 since the PSP is getting the Star Ocean remakes. I guess we'll see in time.
