Infact most airsoft gun brands sells rip offs of a Tokyo marui design. It doesn't matter where a gun is made. It what matters is the designer designed the gun correctly. And the company producing the parts withholds the manufacturing specs of the design during production. And the gun owner to be smart and practicing safety measures. Eg don't load a round that's too hot for the gun to shot safely.

You’re the type to say Xbox is anti consumer for putting Bethesda as exclusive after PS5’s 2 timed exclusives. Yes we have wait and see. And no they’re not neck and neck. Xbox is heading a different route. Subscriptions are the future believe it or not. PlayStation is still using the old strategy of buy once play. Big deal ps5 sold out in japan.. WhAt a ShOcKeR. You know cos I’m not a fanboy, I can easily say PlayStation has good games. Maybe not as good as fanboys say it is. But they’re good. Xbox, well.

The only reason Xbox gained any foothold at all in Japan with the 360 was because of Sony's missteps. The PS3 was too difficult to program for, meaning that development costs were a lot higher.

To that nVidia did try what Google is trying now but it failed back in early 2007 when it tried it so they refined it and changed the business model to fit what we are willing to go with. The model nVidia is going with now seems to be working as $5/month is for a service without noticeable latency though you do have to be close to the server and you do have que lines to wait in, then you also have a limit on how long you single session can be until you go back into said que.

I’m Canadian, I prefer Xbox over PlayStation. I have both btw.

[@YouCanCallMeReTro]

DR. BLUE Don't blame the consumer, blame the producer. If xbox wants us to support them they need to put out a superior product. I had the 360 for its entire lifespan, my brother had a ps3 and I didn't like it very much. Now I have the PS4 because I researched it when it came out and deemed it to be superior to the xbone (at least for me). I've played the xbone and I don't regret my choice one bit.

Ah yes... Nick Robinson.

[@whyisblue923taken]

He was already there, so he booked a flight to America.

Japanese are very loyal to their brands, whoever travelled there could see, they use their cars, mobile phones, everything.

Nah, I'm stop watching when they said that the Xbox One was a success for Microsoft. No one remember the PR Nightmare that was that console?

[@theretronavigator]

Because it still is a success for Microsoft. Don't be daft.

[@methos4866]

@@theretronavigator yes it was such a huge success that they had to switch CEO's, dump the kinect and completely shift the marketing of the product. It also lacks exclusives which has kept it from even coming close to the library that PS4 has which is reflected in console sales as well.

​@@methos4866 You're focused on all the wrong things. This is the problem with most "monday morning analysts." Yes, Don Mattrick was an asshat. Yes, the Kinect 2.0 was a botch. Yes, the focus and marketing of the Xbox - while viable and accurate NOW - was ahead of its time, and the audience wasn't ready, even with considering how future-forward of a company Microsoft typically is. Yes, the Xbox One is a success for Microsoft, but NOT for the reason why YOU want it to be. The Xbox One's initial stumbling out of the gate opened the door for all the positives that came from the Xbox division: Xbox One Back Compat, Xbox Game Pass, the Xbox One X, Project xCloud, the emergence of XaaS (Xbox as a Service,) MLB the Show potentially coming to Xbox consoles, Minecraft crossplay between Switch, Xbox and PS4, the acquisition of over 10 different game studios all developing games for Xbox Game Studios, etc. It's a different type of victory that means all the same.

[@methos4866]

@@theretronavigator The initial marketing for the Xbox One is as misguided now as it was then. They can buy up all the studios and develop as much tech as they want but the current fact is that the system doesn't have the games to back it up. The Xbox One is such a flop that last i checked i believe the Switch is actually catching up to it in sales despite releasing 4 years later then it.

[@nicholasfield6127]

I have used the PS3 and the 360. I liked the PS3 way way better. I can't say for anything newer as I have never used them.

[@joejacko1587]

i had them both too i liked the 360 better
