I do think that Americans are more deserving of products being produced here.
I've always felt (maybe others do not) that you give back something to where
you grew up or the society you are apart of. I see it no different in this
case. Sony has done the same in Japan and I respect them more for it.

There are great benefits to the US market and many, such as Apple, have taken
advantage of it. They also take advantage of the system and keep their money
overseas so it won't get taxed.

Wait, what? Sony has mostly abandoned their Japanese production of
Televisions. They are made in China. Maybe you're thinking of Sharp?

technoslut
Sony still keeps a majority of their factories in Japan.

You are right, Sony manufactures a lot of things in Japan. But it also
manufactures many things (including high end televisions and some of its game
consoles) in China. They are quite coy about disclosing what percentage, so I
don't know where you have read the majority come from Japan.

Just a few quick comments on the Switch after a day of use.

First, a quick digression, Nintendo seems to have gauged the launch demand
pretty well. There are some other comments here regarding Target morning
waits. I was 2nd on line at 6:40am in a northern NJ Target. The guy in front
of me had slept in his car (!), but he seemed to be the only one that did. By
7:45 the line was 20ish people. Our Target had 25 consoles. So everyone that
got there by 8 (opening time) got one. Nice.

The hardware seems really good. I was surprised at how nice it all fit
together (nice, solid clicks) for a product that costs half as much as an
iPad! It's obviously still a "toy," but I don't
