I seriously object to the "Eurofags live and die by Sony, in Europe, a brand name means everything, Sony could sell a brick with a turd on it and the European crowd would buy it up, they're sheep in every respect." This directly insults everyone in Europe. Maybe the reason Sony has been so successfulin Europe is becuase they actually saw it as a major market, and therefore created games European people would be interested in, and had decent PR. Also your comment about brand names is basically down to trust, if a company's product has performed well, then it's likely people will buy other products under their name. Are you seriously saying you'd choose some Ford etc over a similarly priced Audi/Mercedes that is less likely to break down and will perform decently in all areas, just because you thought the brand name meant nothing? Brand names mean various things, ie in Europe Japanese brand means reliability (in virtually all products), European brand means quality, Chinese brand means cheap, American brand means... I'll stop there. |
I'd choose a ford over an Audi or Mercedes because when I want to fix my ford it costs me a lot less. While I infact drive a Pontiac I'd happily purchase an Chevy or a Ford over an Audi and I have a personal hate of the Mercedes. The arguement of quality is kinda bad... more people I know complain about chinsy easy to break products from sony then good sturdy equipment, but this could be exclusive to me. I do agree with the Eurofags satement being unfair though.
