on peut trouver la traduction sur les forums d´ign ou gaming-age. en voilà un extrait :
"One of the hosts offers that these sales are possibly attributed to individuals owning multiple PS2s, but Mikami theorizes that the PS2 easily breaking is the reason forces people to replace the machine -- Mikami uses his own PS2, for which the loading process is slow, as an example. He goes so far as to say that this is a calculated move on the part of Sony -- having sales genereated from purchases of new systems to replace defective machines [*Note: In Japan, nobody ever gets anything fixed when it´s broken. They just replace it.] This is the real reason for the skyrocketing sales of the PS2, says Mikami.
He also cites the PS1 as an example as well, saying that he had to buy a replacement when the first busted while playing "Super Robot Taisen." He also says Walkmans and PCs are the same -- first one breaks after 2 years, forcing you to buy a new one.
"It´s obvious that these things are being made to break. Why do consumers continue to be quiet?! It´s more or less illegal when you think about it!" he rants.
But...consumers continue to buy them...and here comes the next part of Mikami´s rant...
One of the hosts notes that the software itself isn´t selling all that well, and that a lot of people just buy the PS2 for the "wow" [RE: "It´s the in-thing right now"] factor. Mikami says this is so characteristic of [only] the Japanese -- people buy it because everyone else has it. "Gets me angry just thinking about it" he says. "You´re not all elementary school children anymore, right?! Have some individuality!!" "
