Why does PS3 suck in Japan?

Yeah nothing. Besides great online capabilities that outclass the Wii (friend codes lol), media capabilities( like BluRay playback for the PS3, media streaming from your PC etc. pp. HD movie download for the 360), more power for gameplay aspects like better physics for example in Star Wars force unleashed, a Hard-disc for game demo downloads (of gigabyte size) etc. pp.

This is the most astonishing thing about Nintendo fanboys to me they seem to have a warped view of reality. I can concede that the Wii has revolutionized user input and that Nintendo is doing great things in bringing casual gamers to its console. But some/many Nintendo fanboys really seem to think that the only advantage of PS3/360 is graphics? Perhaps you should use one of them.

Now you're bordering on stupidity. Read again what I wrote : "nothing NEW". I shouldn't have added "except graphics" because it's not even true and misleading, they are not new either. But I did that because typical SD displays (interlaced and analog signal) are very different from typical HD displays (progressive and digital signal).

Can you make a difference between the words "new" and "improved", or do I have a problem understanding them?

There is nothing new in anything you cited: online capabilities are not new to this generation, they're only improved. Media capabilities (movies, network, ...) are not new, only improved, more power is not new, hard-disc is not new, ...

This is the most astonishing thing about HD fanboys to me, they seem to have a warped view of reality. I can concede that the PS3/XB360 can deliver HD and that their respective companies are doing great things in bringing graphics whores to their console. But some/many HD fanboys really seem to think that the only advantage of the Wii is the wiimote? Perhaps you should use one of them.

I have to say, ookaze, I think you're very wrong here.  This is the same sort of stretch that others make when they say that the Wiimote is not new because the Power Glove did it first.   Yes, the first bumbling steps may have been done earlier, but these systems took it all to a whole new level. 

Online play is the only place where I would not call the changes new or revolutionary but "only" greatly expanded and much improved.  Well that and "better physics" which pretty much by definition admits to being simply an improvement.

(On the other hand, some other changes were truthfully a step backward, such as HDDs being only in some 360s (albeit most), and having to pay for online play.)
