| 09tarheel said: I feel like people are unfairly attacking Snakenobi on this topic. We are on a video game sales website, it makes sense that a topic will be about how an event will impact video game sales. If people want to talk about the the human tragedy of this event (which it is), then there are more appropriate outlets for that discussion. Ridiculing a poster for bringing up a relevant topic seems harsh. On topic: I do think that the earthquake will negatively impact sales of all videogames and systems. This being the 3DS' launch period may mean it misses out on some of the initial excitement that comes with a launch period and it may be challening to respark that interest later. |
I'm sorry but this thread is pretty indefensible.
Attempting to spell doom for a company you do not like off the back of a horrible disaster like this is pathetic. There is no telling how this event will impact the video game industry in Japan for the near future, and I'm sure all companies involved will try to recover as quickly as they can.
A thread about the impact of the disaster on the video game industry in general is of course acceptable although it seems a trivial concern right now considering it's been a matter of hours since the first earthquake, but the spirit of the OP is so transparent as a "WHOOPSIE 3DS" that it's actually a little sickening.
