Do I have to make a thread on this Nipponophiles?

Have a good read.

blablabla

Mr Chang is an international authority now?

Japanese electronic brands have a long history here. Of course it's gonna be hard to beat them. 

Similar to how Europeans don't buy American cars.

Apple managed, Samsung didn't. How the hell is that nationalism? They're only nationalistic against Korea? But yet Korean cosmetics and TV dramas are super-popular here.

Honestly, very poor choice of a "proof" and it shows some desperation.

 

List of countries by number of McDonalds:

Japan 2nd by far (why no rejection?)

List of most popular theme parks:

Japan's Disneylands no. 2 and no. 3 (why no rejection?)

 

Plus Korean products (not phones), Apple computers, Windows OSs... why are they so successful in Japan?

Heck, why do the Japanese travel abroad so much? Practically every Japanese person has been abroad and is interested in other cultures, much more so than in the US.

 

Whatever companies struggle in Japan have other reasons for struggling, cultural or historical.

Again, it's NOT nationalism. You can't explain some companies struggling and others not with nationalism. "Selective nationalism" makes absolutely no sense.

 

You have absolutely no clue of what you're talking about. Drop it.

Please do not misquote me.

Who are you also? International authority now?

Most Korean appliances are not well regarded there also not just phones.

Poor comparison with American automobiles in Europe. Europe's urban life does not allow American extra sized vehicles to freely roam. Plus the vehicles disregard for fuel consumption is another reason. Futile comparison.

Plus Korean products (not phones), Apple computers, Windows OSs... why are they so successful in Japan?

Do they have a similar Japanese reliable alternative to compete with them?

Do they have to McDonalds and Coca Cola?

Practically every Japanese person has been abroad and is interested in other cultures, much more so than in the US.

You must be joking right?
