What this means is the Japanese public, after hearing about this, is not going to want to purchase Bayonetta 2, nor will they purchase any of Segas games. This is HUGE. You can laugh all you want, but Sega has alienated an entire market with this move. Sega, publicly apologize and make Bayonetta 2 on Ps360 too or you can kiss your business goodbye. |
