Why does PS3 suck in Japan?

[Kyros]

"You're getting to be a top Sony fanboy. I often point to your post when you inferred that the PSP in Japan, and the PS3 in Europe would eventually lead to Sony domination."

Which post? If you talk about the SONYDOMINATION post I think you haven't understood the slight sarcasm (or analogy to 2million Nintendo domination posts ). Besides I have to inform you that this was one of the least useful comments I have read in this forum because its information content was equal to zero. But smalltalk is nice too.


"But if you look at handhelds, you can clearly see that the incentive of graphics can easily be overcome by other incentives. ... I couldn't help but notice that Kyros managed to reply to everyone responding to his post except for me. " Is it because my assessment was so profound that he agrees wholeheartedly with it, even though it stands in utter opposition to his previous view, or is it merely because he can't come up with a solid rebuttal? "

LOL if you insist! I didn't answer you because you are of course correct. Graphics are only one factor and can be overcome by other factors. I mean this can easily be seen by the fact that the Wii which has trounced the competition although it has terrible graphics. Your are also correct that this is even more pronounced in handhelds where battery life and size are two very important factors that do not exist in home consoles.
If you read my posts you will see that I never said anything else. But graphics ARE one very important aspect, even more so in home consoles than in handhelds. All the "graphics don't matter guys" have drunk way too much of Nintendos Kool-aid. So I haven't answered your post because you are tendentially correct and we differ in the precise level of importance of graphics.
If you read what I wrote you will find that I argued that until now the Wii advantages are bigger than the technological disadvantages but that some of these advantages will get way smaller in the next year.

1. Games: The most important factor, Nintendo has already released its biggest titles Sony will start with that in April
2. price: Yes the wii can get cheaper too but in absolute terms the difference will get smaller
