Why is PS3 dead in Japan?

I don't like the PS3 because it was a clumsy arrogant and awkward product forced onto the market three to five years before it was economically viable. Forced Blu-Ray on any PS3 consumer increasing the price tag exponentially. And since then has offered many games either ruined by the pitiful six-axis, ridden with glitches due to poor programming, that look better on the 360 or require loading large chunks of data onto the HDD.

Not to mention the PS3 has all but abandoned Backwards Compatibility and even when it did have it, the system required firmware updates to make it work right and adaptors to use memory cards and other accessories. Let's also not forget "Rumble" being last gen, yet now they somehow miraculously find a way to include it but at the same time not bundle it with the console.

You have a freakish (and quite frankly unhealthy) obsession with trying to put the PS3 in a bad light, or going to great efforts to to show how there is something wrong with the platform.

I don't think I can fully understand the mentality behind it. In my experience even rabid fanboys don't bother attacking another system month in month out tirelessly.

I mean some of the things you actually tried to include as criticisms "Firmware updates" and "loading data onto the HDD" are you actually serious?  You're clutching at straws!

In fact you've even had arguements in the PS3 Devil May Cry game section of this site about it...how pitiful.

You're clearly on a smear campaign against the PS3. Keep fighting the good fight!

She had some good points, I think the forced blu-ray really turned me off.
