Sony pulled a Nokia!

Sony has lost my purchase.

Why? Because their target is adults? I don't understand, please explain.

Nintendo has even said that their products are geared more towards kids than Sony or Microsoft, so whats your point? OMG their competitor said something about them that they've already been saying for a long time, they are terrible!

so what if their for "kiddies"

I follow the saying:

The key to eternal youth is to remain forever young at heart.

Man, are the companies getting as bad as some forums?

well, in the world of japanese business etiquette... referring to a competitor's product in such familiar terms in public is somewhat of a slap in the face. inter-corporate relations in the public eye are a bit more restrained over there... so candid comments like these are certainly a departure from the norm.

I'm and adult and wont be buying a psp for probably....ever. Nothing against the system at all, it's seriously cool from my experiences with it. I would rather spend the money on a DS and some games for that system. I'd get a lot more use outta whatever the hell the psp costs this week.

PSP is probably going to sell for the more like older crowd, it's just like Playstation 2, all their games are geared for the older people, while Gamecube is geared towards younger kids (Animal Crossing? - I got taht game also, it was fun for about the first 20 hours)

ever hear of Resident evil zero, 1, 2, 3, 4, and eternal darkness, and Metal Gear Solid twin snakes, just to name a small amount of games that are non kiddy. I hate it when people bring that up. It may have games that younger children may like but so does every system.

It's true, only childish people buy Nintendo systems. And only uber-sophisticated, mature types would be caught dead playing a Sony system... hang on a minute, something's not right here.

While I dont understand the posters reasoning, thats besides the point.

If you were to actually read the article it Sony never actually said what they quoted they did, the very next paragraph stated he said another word which they (the article) decided to translate into "kiddies". One must love how media twists peoples words to better suit them selves.

Big deal, PSP is more for adults (18+) while DS is for kids.. shit I think i'll cause a uproar because I didnt see this comming even if it was blatently obvious since the Nintendo 64........

hehe...I bet they are all tore up about it, too!

We've westernized Japan so bad their great traditions are going fast. Honor which was big to them is being replaced by greed.... very sad
