finalgt said:I'm pretty sure you didn't read that. Let's think about the companies that are based in Japan / Asia. Honda, Samsung, Sony, Sanyo, Daewoo...those are the ones that just jump out at me; asian names that have become part of US household knowledge. The consumer tech industry in particular owes a ton to Japan specifically.
X360 is a spectacular success. People are punching themselves in the face for the chance to buy a $400 system, and are disgusted at the $300 alternative. Even if people are eventually forced to buy the $300 system, they'll probably buy all the $150 worth of extras that come with the Premium...MS actually found a way to convince people that $450-500+ is a bargain for something people have traditionally paid no more than $300 for.
yea i know.. but what i'm saying is.. for example.. the (silicon) transistor was invented in america.. and so was the television.. the japanese have made them much better.. you get me? the orginal inventers are american.. a crap load of things in industry that the japanese dominate in were invented in America.. so it seems.. i don't knwo whatever..we should let this get back on topic
then again.. you can never place credit for the invention of something on one person..
