I completely understood everything that was said in that video.



So you're saying that the Vita isn't selling well because people don't have $$?

Yeah it's a big problem though.

Wow!
I knew Japan had some big financial problems, but according to that - excellent by the way - video they are pretty much f**ked.

Start a war with North Korea, or someone else. War can do wonders to a country's economy.

Just destruction otherwise though.

Indeed.

Bring the US along as well, we could use that boost as well. ;p

It's a myth that war is good for the economy. Wars bankrupt countries. Being able to take advantage of the window of repairation is where economies benefit. See the US after the second World War (UK etc were all near bankrupt from financing that war for 6 years).

Japan's new government is now having a last ditch attempt at going on a mega money printing spree to inject inflation into the economy. It's one of the biggest games we've ever seen with a county's finances as it could well leave them with an uncontrolable debt burder. On the plus side for Japanese companies like Sony and Nintendo it will seriously devalue the Yen meaning they will make far more profit on overseas sales and allow plenty of scope for price drops.
