? I just said that they said 2014, which is at most one year, more likely it will be half a year. Like the ps3 coming to europe late, or vita coming to america late. This isnt some unprecedented move. It is actually more precedence for a staggered world launch than a simultanious ww launch. Also, japan is not really that major of a gaming nation when it comes to home consoles, they are mostly big on handhelds. I mean, the ps3 sales in a erica where it is in 3rd are more than all the home console sales in japan combined. |
Ah sorry, I must have mistread that, but still such a long delay of 1-1.5 years is certainly not precedent for a Home console launch, nothing in recent memory seems to come close to that length of time.
And it is easy for us sitting in regions that will undoubtedly be getting both consoles on launch day to talk about how it's alright for a fan in a different country to have to wait.
In terms of Home consoles, Japan in #3 after US and UK, that is quite major if you ask me, and there are millions of home console owners in Japan. Compound that with ad money and XBL accounts in addition to game sales and that is a market that is worth Billions of dollars.
Their showing at TGS seems pointless, the focus will be on Sony as it is every year and there is a chance for them to garner even more negative press at the event.
