From our mailbox:

I am writing you guys to say how disheartening and disturbing I find your constant cynical and negative coverage of MS/Xbox 360 since in was officially announced at E3 and to this day.

From what another person who wrote you guys to express the same concerns as I am, you responded that you believe MS is only in Japan to "rape the consumers". I am in North America, and as you know the 360 is more expensive here than it is in Japan. Sony has on several occasions insinuated that the Playstation 3 will be more expensive in Japan than it will in North America. If this turns out to be true will Sony get a free pass from you guys since they are a Japanese company? Will it be okay to you guys if Sony "rapes their consumers".

Whatever your reason(s) for your damning MS/360 coverage, you are doing no one any favors. Not Sony, not the gamers, and not the industry.

If you care anything about the gaming industry, the last thing you would want is for MS to fail to win the Japanese game consumers.

Thank you in advance for your time.

You're welcome and Merry Christmas.
