Are they trying to appeal to Japan?

If they were they would probably make a deal with a japanese company (like panasonic), not a korean one :P.


But Korean products appeal to the Japanese market, unlike American ones. I can imagine Samsung being a huge part of Japan's electronics section. It could be a reason imo 

Korean companies will eventually produce a game machine, and i would hypothesise that it would be Samsung that does it first, but I highly doubt Samsung would waste their time helping someone else, unless they seriously want to put the boot into Sony Japan (like they haven't done this already).

Surface isn't exactly a mass market device, and it probably relies on many lcd components which Samsung manufacture already.



“When we make some new announcement and if there is no positive initial reaction from the market, I try to think of it as a good sign because that can be interpreted as people reacting to something groundbreaking. ...if the employees were always minding themselves to do whatever the market is requiring at any moment, and if they were always focusing on something we can sell right now for the short term, it would be very limiting. We are trying to think outside the box.” - Satoru Iwata - This is why corporate multinationals will never truly understand, or risk doing, what Nintendo does.
