Title: It's official, Japanese gamers are insane
Post by: Riggswolfe on October 13, 2006, 06:58:35 AM
After the recent Tokyo Gameshow they took a survey and one of the questions was which console are you most looking forward to:

Quote
The PS3 came out on top in the vote for which next generation system players are most looking forward to. 58.3% selected the PS3 as the next generation system they most want, compared to the Wii's 33.8% and the Xbox 360's 7.9%.


The ps3 won? Do the Japanese consumers not follow news?

It honestly blows my mind. I could see them choosing the Wii over the 360 maybe. But the PS3? Seriously?

Keep in mind this was at TGS, which Nintendo doesn't attend.

Japanese gamers watch anime, buy anime-themed games about touching pre-pubescent girls' privates and they like tentacle rape and endless repetitions of the same Final Fantasy formula over and over again. Of course they are insane.

Why not? The bulk of JRPGs and other popular titles (MGS, Gundam etc) are going to be released on PS3(some even exclusively) anyway.

I talked to him on the phone once, it was a tech support call back when I worked for AOL.  He was an asshole.

Well, at least I'm not the asshole. Who uses AOL.

Probably more a combination of "brand loyalty" and "TGS" than "tentacle rape".
