This has always been something that rubbed me the wrong way. A Japanese company focusing on the west more than on it's own country is so disrespectfull imo. Clearly it will be out in the west before Japan because Sony decided to focus more on the west, wich financialy makes sense but still disrespectfull.

Same thing when a canadian company (I'm canadian) gives more love to the US cause it's financialy more viable. Some work that way, other don't. But I hate those who do.

I always hated people crying about respect. The weak always do that imo.

Its business nothing else, there is no pointless notion of respect in any of this.

I don't buy it. One is supposedly saying he wanted to buy BF4 on launch, lol yeah right. Another and that is just reaching, said that Sony should be more like Microsoft and he is envious of the xbone players, hahahaha fake ;-]

Next!

So because BF games are not popular in japan, you think literally no one there likes the games?

And the other one is probably referring to MS launching this year in NA, their "host" region, while Japan, Sony's "host" region doesn't get the console until next year.

"I'm not going to buy the PS4 until there's a price cut."

I love how he doesn't threaten to buy a Wii U or an Xbox One.

You go where the money is at. If Japan wanted a PS4 launch first, they should of bought more PS3's. The West is the bigger market, play with your handhelds on the bus for 3 more months till then.

Sony should tell them, buy mass ps4, and you will get ps5 first, but when you see sale there, i do see why sony not lauch first for them.

I think your reasons are stupid. The 2nd largest market for the console is coming after it releases in 32 others first. You can easily understand the frustration.

I think overall it's important to gain traction in NA and EU first before Japan as sony will face the most compeition in those regions. I can understand the frustration however. Sony needs to keep announcing new JP centric stuff to keep the JP gamer engaged..the three months will go by fast.
