That's actually not a bad idea.

That's a very misleading graphic. We have to bear in mind the number of games from each region.

And with that comes the problem of confidence interval. A larger sample size for the Japanese game review scores will mean that the mean score tend towards the "true" mean of the games from Japan, whilst the smaller sample size for games coming from the rest of the world would mean that the number 58 has a lower significance level and hence has a high probability of actually having a "true" mean of 63 as well.

I guess you need to know statistics to know what I just said.

Back in the PS2 days, viral marketing wasn't that important. But in this day and age, it counts for a lot. Just look at the success of the "Will it blend?" videos on youtube. Each and every article talking about the failure of the PS3 will cement the common perception of it being a failed system, and each passing day that Sony fails to correct this impression will be to its disadvantage.

If it continues for a few months, it wouldn't matter what games that do come out, or how cheap the PS3 is. People will just remember it as a failure.

Haven't you heard? Cup stacking is like the newest craze around the world! Everyone can relate to the ad instantly! Sony FTW!

I'm going to stack some cups now! Woohoo!
