Yes, why rush an incomplete Japanese version off to retail indeed? Are Sony under that much pressure that they have to keep putting out incomplete products? It's crazy to release this machine with such a fractured online service and games that don't even support it.
Criticize Microsoft all you want but at least they managed to release a complete product with a working online service. That was their bedrock principle when they first announced the 360 and they delivered on that at launch. Not months afterwards...
I guess that's the difference between one company that builds a dedicated team with a clear vision of what they want to create and another company with an ego-maniacal 'godfather' figure who is being poked and prodded by the boardroom to help push their latest soon-to-be-dead media format on a all too aware public.
You know what I want on XBLA? Worms... or Worms 2. Either would be fantastic for LIVE multiplayer. Exploding Sheep, Holy Hand Grenades... HAAAAAAAAAAALLELUJAH!!! Come on Team 17, make it happen!
