Kotaku:
Kazuyuki Inakoshi, manager of Akihabara's Messe Sanoh, doesn't pull any punches in his Famitsu.com column about the recent PS3 Slim launch. In short: The launch could have been smoother.
"If you are talking about the basic demand for the newly designed PS3, it seemed so-so," Inakoshi blogs. There was no line in front of his landmark Akihabara shop, he writes, and the first customer on that day did not buy a PS3 Slim, but a copy of Konami DS dating sim title Love Plus.
While many gaming layoffs are cruel, Tango Gameworks being culled after Hi-Fi Rush doesn't even make sense.
Good read. I think the point is important. Cuz the message it sends is, make a bad game? Well shut you down. Make a good game? We still might shut you down. How the fuck are you supposed to feel any sense of job security under those conditions. The level of core incompetence at play in the upper levels of this industry is staggering. This is common sense shit. You can’t chase trends on a 2 year cycle when games take fucking 6-8 years to make. Just let artists fucking art for gods sake. They don’t understand the basic principle that they’re all haggling for the same slice of fucking pie and the market will not bear it. Find a different fucking pie.

This looks like a great way to play.

Seems like Kotaku is already preparing damage control for the 150k+ first week PS3 sales in Japan.
LMAO!!!~~ kotaku downplaying the slim launch? colour me surprised.
HAHAHAHAHAHA
Kotaku always finds a way to spiiiiiiiiin

Kotaku is the biggest 360 fanboy on the Internet. I talk about PS3 fanboys all the time here, but at least they're just opinionated individuals. It is sad to see journalists themselves with such bias. I see enough of that on Fox News - why did it have to come to gaming?
Is it me or is the world becoming more divisive nowdays?
Lol @ someone reporting this story as fake?
I was going to write an epic(long) comment but then I thought: well, it's just kotaku... Why waste my time?
But but but the conspiracy!
