PS3 delayed in Europe, no 1080p games, and 5 years to recoup losses

It's pretty funny that you said right on track which is true but it's still hurting the company. PS2 went from sorta crap to omg overnight and sales said down-c, left-c, up-c twice. But you had two factors: Specific titles released at that time that calmed Japan's shyness from the system and that the PS2 had plenty of games announced that were from noted resources like Square. Think about it, this is the same market that PSX devoured and controlled and the same manufacturer releases an update to the hardware and they're not welcomed imeadiately. The XCrotch *CLEVER* never moved off the shelves, I think on some islands in Japan they use them to anchor ships or balance catapults, then MS says okay forget it, here's the update and it's recieving the same treatment.

imo MS needs to grab a company and put them to work on RPGs. Classic, menu based, spiky hair RPGs and games based on TV and movies in Japan, if you ask anyone in Japan why they love PS2 it's one of those reasons.
