As someone who works for MS on a contractual basis... I would just like to point out that there are many reasons as to why the 360 is not officially launched here... I admit that although piracy is a factor it is not the only factor. Things like appointing a reliable distro, existing internet infrastructure and broadband penetration rates, % of Malaysian gamers that play online, the total market size of Malaysian gamers and spending habits of Malaysian gamers have also been taken into account.... after running all those numbers it doesn't seem viable due to all the costs involved in a&p, logistics, legal framework, manpower blah blah blah... so live with it...
and if you're asking what credentials i have for all the stuff above, I handled the SG launch.... have a nice day...

QUOTE(marauderz @ May 19 2006, 10:07 PM) I don't call Sony Malaysia 'supporting' the Malaysian market. What is it that we got from Sony Malaysia? They know they don't need to support that many consoles since everyone mods them and thus voids their warranty, they didn't even go through the trouble to make english games available here! If you think it's possible for MS Malaysia to just say "Yeah, let's sell the 360 here. RIGHT NOW!" then I'd guess you have no idea the amount of work involved that is required like Yoroi mentioned. you can't just simple distribute the consoles like what our game shops are doing right now, there must be proper tech support channels created, head count for regional support, convincing distributors to take stock of games and consoles. The whole network must be established before a proper product can be sold and supported here. Gamers like us don't need to call product support when we can't seem to get 480P working on our TV, but there are plenty of people out do who do! And why is it then no one complained when Sony took it's own sweet time to 'support' the local market? read what the forumers have out down.... these are not empty rants... so read them carefully before you brush them off... |
