| Dodece said: I wonder if it has occurred to anyone in this thread that these advertisements are directed at a market with different cultural values. What is unacceptable in one culture is often viewed as acceptable in another culture. So I would ask this question is this advertising typical or atypical of advertising in Japan. That is all that matters, because frankly the majority of us are not who this advertising is geared towards. Anyone remember the goat gate incident? Remember the dichotomy of response. On one side you had outrage, and on the other you had total disinterest. That was the product of environment. Those involved with animal husbandry were totally disinterested, but people who largely lived in metropolitan centers were incensed. With what they viewed as animal abuse, and morbidity. Do not just assume that your sense of fair play it the same sense that is prevalent in Japanese culture. We need to ask Japanese members whether this is proper for their region. Who are we to judge based on how the advertiser is treating them. What can I say I live in a country where its totally proper to depict a guy mowing down a hundred people with a chain gun, but if he drops his pants that is a crime against decency. Once you see your cultural foibles you start to understand that there are differences. |
The Problem is that According to the Kotaku translation the Catalog does not call the PS3 lesser than the Xbox 360..what it wants to do is say that MultiPlatform games would give a better experience on the 360...Something that has been a Debate in America for some time now....and your Analogy is confusing.....
This site is justtrying to spark a fire over this catalouge and re assure it viewrs about what their alingment is...
I Personally only think that trying to push the 360 Arcade sales with this comparison is useful while the Tales Reference is down right stupid....But this site that OP qouted is being a cry baby
