While I'm sure Sony Japan's intention wasn't to torture people—even the caption reads "The world will be united with play," which shows their heart was in the right place—still... you're a Japanese company. You've released your console outside of Japan first. This isn't a very nice thing to show your Japanese fans. Why not use some game footage? Can't go wrong with that.
