My comments were based on a general impression I've gotten from reading interviews with Japanese developers/business folk. I'm not going to dig up links to the exact articles which I'm sure will please you folks to no end. However, I've noticed a definite difference in how the Japanese respond to criticisms regarding their business dealings. I don't claim to be an expert on Japan but I'm not convinced that any of you are either.
Could this be a Japanese thing? It makes me think of Nintendo's comments about online gaming not being important regardless of the evidence. The Japanese will make an problematic or unsuccessful product and put all the blame on the consumer. "We didn't make a mistake but you are very stupid."
I think an American company would approach this issue much differently. Not sure I would like that either.

But you haven't demonstrated that you know anything. I'm still not impressed but it's time to drop it. I can see that you have nothing to contribute.
You aren't playing the role of the angry know-it-all very well. I'm not impressed with your opinions but I'm sure you can do better. Let's see it.
