Sony\'s Kutaragi says Xbox "finished"

True, it isn\'t a single country as such, but it\'s still a market. It\'s just a bit more difficult due to taxes, infrastructure etc. But believe me, it is the bigger market. So it doesn\'t matter that Sony sold more PSones here than anywhere else? How do you figure that?

 Because a larger % of the userbase plays pirated games. The \'market\' that means anything is the market that buys games.

And the Euro markets are seperated.

I don\'t think there\'s any chance of getting this thread back on track. It\'s too far gone now. I was just interested in getting onto a more interesting subject and slow down the "Let\'s Bash Swedenfest" that was going on.

EThugg.. The way I understand it, Europe is considered one big region for most all purposes. There\'s just too many countries over there for any company to research market data on all of them. They do the same thing on this side of the Atlantic. It\'s just like how Canada and Mexico are part of the "North American" market. For some reason though, Japan is it\'s own market and the rest of the counties over there are considered the "Asian Market".

BTW: I do have respect for life in all it\'s forms. I also have respect for the cycle of life and am comfortable with it even with the knowlage that pain and death are inevitabley a part of that cycle. That\'s just life.  What goes around, comes around. We\'ve had our time being the prey.. now we are the preditor.. eventually something (probably ourselves) will knock us down a few rugs and we\'ll eventually be the prey again. I just wonder if our future preditors will even glimpse the thought of being as "Compassionate" about life as you are before they rip out our distant decendants throat?

And that should effect my moral compassion how? I make decisions for myself. And excusing savage behavior because we were once prey (barely), and what anyone else is doing, is quite irresponsible. \'Hey, I can be bad cause he is!\'. Didn\'t your mother ever teach you? 2 wrongs don\'t make a right. A eye for a eye makes the whole world blind. My fellow America.... ummm, where was I going with this?

In no way should it effect your moral compassion. I was just offering up a hypothetical question. Food for thought. IMO, when it comes to the continued survival of your species.. there is no right or wrong. You either do what it takes to survive or you die. Simple as that. If nature has taught us anything, it\'s that life adapts. Life will adapt to our presence and eventually find a way to fight back against us and our "intelligence". It\'s no different than certain plants evolving poisons to keep animals from eating them.. and then certain animals evolving countermeasures against the poison so that they can feast. Nature won\'t show us mercy.. so I don\'t see why we should bend over backwards and possibly weaken ourselves by showering it with compassion.

Also, I don\'t understand you\'re "barely" comment when reffering to humans ancestors being prey for other animals. Do you think we just walked out of the jungle and started *****slapping mother nature with no opposition? If that\'s so.. then how come there are noumerous proto-human skulls sitting in museums all over the world with fang, teeth, and claw gouges in them, all dating back to times before we even used any sort of complex tools for hunting or scavenging. (More complex than flat rocks anyhow)

Nice Job SonyFan. I think you argued your point well, as EThugg wouldnt, after being provided with more evidence supporting your claim, look it up. You argued the better fight and IMO, you won.

But we can all drop it, since we are all too thickheaded to ever give up an opinion.

He won ****. I\'m not researching to prove **** to someone I don\'t know on a forum. I know I\'m right.

We can agree on that last thing.

I must state for the record, as this was the springboard for everything, I don\'t hate Sweden specifically. I hate humanity as a whole. And I hate the US more than any other country.

Sweden has the highest rate of consoles in the world. Every swede buys games for 110$ each year. we have money we have broadband and we are actually so important to Sony that they let a special company distribute PSX,PS2 games PSX and PS2 consoles in scandinavia. We have PSx and PS2 stuff in every corner of our towns. Sony is looking on sweden for several reason. the main reason is that we have money and we buy games a LOT.

why the hell do you hate the U.S. most

GOD i hate comming late to Long Threads....

Anyhoooooooo

Kutaragi said it for ................ Welll for saying it sake.

the actual reason behind this can best be described as, a PRESS STUNT !

either that or he maybe had a bit tooo much to drink at E3.......

oh and P.S.

Great to see you on the Threads Bjorn, Love Sweeden but not as much as Bonnie SCOTLAND .

The reason, Bossieman, that Sony "lets" someone distribute the systems and games, is because the market is NOT important enough. Sega does the same thing with TecToy in Brazil. People dont buy the systems or games in droves down there anymore because TecToy has jacked up the price of games and systems. WHich I suspect your "special" company has down.

Don\'t fool yourself, if game compnaies didn\'t have Sweden, I don\'t think they would miss anything.

he hates it the most, because thats where bill gates was born, and thats why he has no friends now.. because he reads up on the x box too much.
