Given I am European I would rather see Japan not too cave if shit hits the fan. It would make PlayStation focus more on Japan and Europe which I wouldn't mind. Would suck for US gamers, but hey they can still buy an Xbox. The US also started a trade war with Europe, basically because the trade balance is in Europe is favour. This trade war has not yet ended. Still I rather have my country having a trade war with US than being it's lil bitch. In general if you give Americans a finger they will try to take your whole hand, if you don't they will still try. Thing is they can only make decisions for you in your nation if you let them and nothing will stop them for still boycotting or adding extra taxes to PlayStation and Nintendo if it pleases them. |
Yeah, i doubt it would work out like that. Way to much money on the table. It takes regulators nothing to look into Sony business practices and determine if they are getting close to anti trust issues. As Epic stated, I doubt it goes anywhere but then again, its sole purpose could be to just put a spotlight on Sony, slow their roll or prepare some other strategy MS might be looking to accomplish in Japan. Either way, I doubt it will benefit you at all.
As for any country you give them a finger they will take the whole hand, there are no saints in politics no matter what country you come from. All seek an advantage over the other.
