God help us if Apple ever does achieve true acceptance in Japan. We'll have a bunch of Japanese people running around from 2chan posting on the glories of Mac >_> In beautiful ASCII art nonetheless.
It's just about protecting domestic interests in my view. Sure, there might be a bias slightly towards Japanese made products, probably because there is subtle pressure to not lose anymore ground in the Japanese economy to more foreign imports. This probably has had a hand in the slow taking of the 360 there and probably why I didn't see masses of people with an IPod in Japan (but Sony Minidiscs? Porque?).
The question now is if you think the article is unfair. True, you wouldn't ask your direct competitor for their "unbiased" opinion on your product. So, from that standpoint, the article might not be all that great. (This just in, Microsoft says Apple products give you cancer! Eventually...)
Jam it back in, in the dark.
