So japan prefer Nintendo?

"Sony fanb*@^s and fang*@^s started being dubbed "GK" online in Japan, with the implication that they "worked" for the electronics giant. "


thats legit

oh please MS has a higher CSR rep than most companies out there. The fact people call them evil is just plain ignorance.

OT: haha cockroaches i wonder what xbox fans are called in japan.

Dodos.

Sony = gokiburi (cockroach) as explained in OP. Lately its popular to change the リ at the end to a 李, which is derogatory due to being used often in Korean names.
Nintendo = ninshin (pregnant)-　妊 nin from pregnant and 任 nin from Nintendo sound the same, further reinforced with the second nickname buta (pig) due to an association of fat with pregnancy. Sometimes its combined.
Microsoft = chikan (molester)- due to the amount of perverted games that (used to) come out for Xbox. They were generally the only Japanese third parties who would support it.

Due to an unofficial truce between the Nintendo and Microsoft camps, mainly due to how tiny the Microsoft camp is in Japan and the desire by Nintendo fanboys to have a console "on their side" that could compete power-wise, often times the group is refered to as chikanishi, a combination of chikan and ninshin.

It's also generally insulting to associate anyone with Korea. "chon" is a common derogatory term for a Korean, so its also common to call Sony "chony" and Nintendo "chontendo."

I haven't even begun to scratch the surface of the Japanese internet. I could devote an entire dissertation to explaining the subject.

lol I also contemplated posting it, but decided that it was kinda pointless.  I've never heard or seen this relation to Sony followers before so, meh.

Though I am intrigued to see what they post for the other fan bases later.

Wh-what...?

If you started a blog or something about this kind of stuff, I'd read it religiously.

Didn't know that, you learn something every day.

Yeah, I see Microsoft´s achievments but I´m just using the momentum and joking xD
