This generation kinda stinks.

Like I don't see how people there will keep on paying such a pricey console at this rate. Of course import to China will probably constitute most of the sales at that point.

Extremely idiotic comment, including the neverending "China" bit...

These prices include sales tax. So the "pricey consoles" in Japan are still the lowest, anywhere. Despite the exchange rate that has tanked.
