The irony here is that it is titled "Everybody's Golf," yet actually playing it is priced beyond most people's reach.

This could be the most realistic golf sim yet, even including the country club attitude towards the intended audience.

the irony is that all of a sudden you are an expert of the japanese market... all the others are system sellers so why wouldnt this one be?? it has traditionally sold very well in japan and good in america.. so so everywhere else... i already know what youre gonna say... the ps3 hasnt even sold a mill in japan yet.. yea okay thats fine.. but given this games tradition of selling well why wouldnt this be any different..

 Well the last three Playstations have been comforatbly priced at no higher than $300. Doubling that has affected sales of games that did sell extremely well on the previous systems. I'm not saying it won't be a hit. Heck, it could even spur PS3 sales there. Yet as your question is "why wouldnt this be any different", I gave you a reason why.
