I post on the first page in this thread.  I come back, and witness the most awkward and off-topic post I have seen in a while.

I'mma call that a "win."

*high-fives Carl2291*

Hell yes.

*busts out champagne and cake*

@ Smashed.

They went wrong when they sided with the 360. You should know this by now, or do you need brainwashing?

1. Trust me Sony will finish well. I expect the PS3 to sell at least 18Million units next year thanks to EyePet and eclipse the Wii which will sell 17.8Million.

2. Ive ALWAYS loved Japan as a market, they are fair... and like GOOD QUALITY products. As for France, no... i dont. They are too busy buying other things like sex, champagne, garlic and snails to care about consoles.

3. Large failure rate? EXCUSE me mister, but my PStripple has never once even been ill. And our customer service is amazing, they dont get too over worked as our PS3s always pull through in the tough times, and i can understand them on the phone

4. Ahh so you were fibbing. Any more of that and i will have to report you to the trey brotherhood. Trey 4 Life!

Oh, please... I'm going to become violently ill if I ever read this again from a poster.  Please remind me to start a thread talking about how many times Japan's electronics industry has been punished via tariff for dumping products below cost to eliminate foreign competition, all backed by their ministry of trade office.  And don't get me started on how they've tried to get around US legislation that prohibits price-fixing (I hope someone doesn't bring up the one exception to this that was recently granted in the courts regarding the high-end boutique market... that's very atypical).

And last, but not least, it's not a big secret that Japanese consumers are often very nationalistic when it comes to buying Japanese made products over foreign products, regardless any quality/feature advantage the competition may have.

I'm not saying other countries haven't done things just as bad, but I get so tired of hearing how fair Japanese industry and markets are.

Unfortunately a tissue wouldn't fill the cracks in my heart.
