Japanese Gamers' Post-E3 Reversal

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the logical-people dept.

Castar writes "Prior to E3, Famitsu readers were interested in the PS3, and Final Fantasy. Post E3, while there's still some excitement over Final Fantasy, they seem to be very interested in the Wii, and concerned about the PS3's high price. It certainly seems that in Japan, at least, Nintendo and Sony's fortunes have reversed. Will this hold through the launch and the succeeding years?" From the article: "Nearly 70% of readers said they are most looking forward to Wii. 21% voted for PlayStation 3, while the others voted for systems already released. 88.4% of readers believe PlayStation 3 is too expensive, while 10% believe it's 'about right'."

    88.4% of readers believe PlayStation 3 is too expensive, while 10% believe it's 'about right'. and 1.6% of the readers think that Sony should sell the PS3 for $1200?

    Besides, I think Sony has other irons in the fire.

    One DRM to rule them all
    One platform to find them
    One format to bring them all
    and in the darkness, bind them

    Then there's the Satan deal...

    I believe the actual quote is:
    One platform to rule them all
    One rootkit to find them
    One device to bring them all
    And in the DRM, bind them

    ... and in the DRM, bind them.
