lol like its that big of a deal. i mean shouldnt you sell it in countries that actually want to buy it first? hell if americans were turn off by it do you think hiroshima would want it more than the last?

The problem isn't the late launch here as much as the language. 'Tier 2' just sounds awful and disrespectful. Microsoft's PR have been shit of late.

Japanese will hold a grudge on this too, that definitely was not the proper wording that he could have used. Microsoft did try in Japan, but the fact is they will never win or gain any significant leverage over there on Sony/Nintendo.
