Thank you!
It's not delusion, MS has more "Japanese" games than Ps3 does. This is just the RPG end. Ps3 is going to catch up, but that won't be til the end of the year. There are major franchises in the pipeline for Ps3, but right now they aren't there.

That chart is from the week Ps3 launched in Japan, the best selling games were a Ridge Racer and a poorly reviewed Gundam game. The software/hardware ratio was LESS than 1:1

From May 07, again Ps3 sold more Hardware then they did Software 6 months in!!

June 07, 1 game for every 2 systems sold!?!?! The Ps3 barely hit more than a 2.5:1 ratio during its first six month, and sold anyway.
I'll concede at the 360 launch the same thing happened, however, by the end the first month the software/hardware ratio was 4:1 and never dipped below 2:1 after that.
You talk about understanding culture, but how can you say Sony understood culture when they couldn't provide the games that should've sold the product? People were buying the product irregardless! Why? It's much more complicated than you try to make it seem.
How am I supposed to judge this culture given this information?
