Natural disasters do affect the underlying economy of a nation in a big way.

If the economy of Japan goes into recession after the wreckage of a large storm, Sony would be less inclined to do any pricecuts on any its products, PS included. For example, after the last storm + Fukushima disaster, Nintendo had to debut the Wii U at a higher price in the US due to deflation of the Japanese yen relative to the US dollar because of the natural disaster's effect on Japan's economy.

Aren't they used to typhoons and earthquakes?

This one's on Sony, no doubt.

They weren't being hypothetical.

There Tvs are ow makeing money

You gotta love how a major disaster is possibly/probably headed Japan's way, and people are talking about Playstations.....lol

Sony should think about doing stand-up comedy, this is good!

It'll be gone by next week, we had over 40 typhoos hit japan last year.

Added in my location for the sake of it.

Guess I won't be on vgc on friday.

It wasn't that horribly bad, last I heard. There was one death and a ton of flights were cancelled, but it wasn't too horribly bad.

I could be wrong though, a lot could of happened since I last heard.

It missed Okinawa by 250-300 miles and still caused damage, it's currently projected to pass directly over tokyo, the eye of the storm itself, and pass over my house by about 10 miles.

I guess i'll provide some live coverage on here when it reaches tokyo on friday.

Storm itself is over 1200km from end to end, with the eye being around 50km in diameter.
