Looks like Sony execs are really desperate nowadays.

As for your second part, The Sony CEO has often stated (need to look for link) the cost of doing business in Australia is a lot higher than the cost of doing business in other places around the world. Perhaps MS and Nintendo have a cheaper way of getting their consoles to market than Sony does. If that is the case then, yes. they should look at alternative import and distribution plans as the others have.

But to call what Sony is doing "Price Gouging" is uncalled for IMO, especially at it seems the authors never even bothered to check out basic other "facts" in their article.

The veracity of other claims in this article are highly suspect, thus undermining the credibility of anything the author states, I'll give you that.  But Sony is taking a beating in the media lately and I'm just not sure that a ranting response is in their best interest, regardless of how warranted that response may be.

To some extent, it's the same reason I disagreed with your original "trolling" response; emotional responses lose credibility...factual arguments always carry more weight (hard to not have an emotional response to some things said at VGChartz though!)

 

 

@bolded: IF that was the real response then I agree

@Italicised: I agree 100%
