NONE OF YOU GUYS HAVE LIVED IN JAPAN. I have lived there for 6 months from a school trip. I'll tell you this much, any store in Akhiabara that you walk into, you'll hear people echo "the Power of PS3".

The Japanese consumers know about the power of PS3, but the general mainstream consensus, on both Japanese forums, and critical reviews- is the machine's size and price. Once it gets streamlined, and the price drops, it will have a boom in Japan.

The Japanese do not hate Playstation. If anything they hate the 360 with a passion. Enough to buy titles and trade them in as soon as they are done.

6 months in Japan you must be some kind of Japan genius.  I lived there for a year and went back a couple times, studied japanese for over 5 years, had a few japanese girlfriends even when i haven't lived there.  It doesn't mean a thing though, most people in America don't even understand the American market and they have lived there all their lives.  All the experts predicted PS3 to win in every market, and they should know much more than anyone who spent any amount of time anywhere.
