Did they set a goal of how much they thought they would make, and came up short of that?

well that's what you get for making a huge PSP with crappy games and selling it for too much money.

I am happy an sad. Son had many Japan exclusive games, and acted like big foreign jerks, But they had many of the games we grew up with, Most of my favorite games are from Sony. But then I'm happy that America finally beat out a Japanese game company. Hopefully Sony will learn their lesson and focus more on American gamers, what we like and care about. Americans created HARD MODE. Japanese games don't usually have that. Shame on you Sony! You disappointed us. the PS3 was a 10 year plan, So their stuck with it for 8 more years. The problem was too many extra shit. I don't want blue ray, Blue Ray is expensive, and so are sensors instead of buttons. I want a hunk of shiny plastic that Sony has been used to giving me. It's ok if you want to beef it up, Just don't make me pay for stuff i won't use.

Perhaps Square Enix and other Japanese game producers will move to Microsoft instead of having Nintendo/Sony exclusive rights?

Focus more on America than it's own country? Quite the nationalist, AF.

PS3 is famous in Japan, everyone has one. Who do you know in America that has a PS3 and LOVES it. Japan gets early release dates, games can be released in Japanese or English because they know both. Sony has been favoring Japan over North America and now their paying for it, literally.

Just so you know, Ninja Gaiden was hard enough without the difficulty settings.

(That was a Japanese game. :O)

Amen to that. One of my favorite difficult games--couldn't beat the 6th level without cheats, to be honest. I still feel guilty.

PC games rule.


Now thats out of the way, Sony would have invested more in Japan if they didnt want us to buy it, they are over here because they just want the success that Nintendo was enjoying, but in the end they lost it, every company has its big  [cen]  up, Sony just had theirs.

Until Sony discovers alchemy. It's just he Ebb and Flow of gaming, Eventually things will get better, worse, better and continue in that pattern. Same way how America is in the ditch.
