At least Kerotan and Law are consistent in the different regions they post, Someone like Tbone is curiously absent in the UK threads every week because he can't make the same fiery arguments (outside the proverbial Nintendo is weak in the UK) I always find him throwing here in Japan. Maybe that should be the mantra for Playstation and Japan. Its sales are not up to snuff because Japan is their weakest market...and call it a day.

The UK IS historically Nintendos weakest market though, They've had trouble penetrating that market ever since the NES days and lost the territory to the british micros and Sega continously for various reasons.

The same is not true for Sony in japan. They were extemely successful with the ps1, ps2 and psp in japan and lost a significant amount of their market share there. some of it is probably down to a shrinking market in japan, but the Switch shows that consoles can still succeed and do very well in japan.

Both companies have made apparent missteps in the respective regions.

Yes, he used an American Express card to get a $100 discount on a purchase of over $400.  This applies to ALL purchases.  That is NOT a discount on Switch itself.  It's a discount on all purchases over $400.  Including PS4 or anything else you put in your cart.

He could have purchased $400 worth of packs of bubble gum and he would have received a $100 discount for using his AMEX card.  Are you going to say bubble gum got a $100 discount now?

I dont think bubble gum got a $100 price cut during its first year so there is no comparison

This dicussion has gone into Trump regions of hilarity now. Thanks guys I haven't laughed like this at a thread in months! XD
