Have you used anything digital in Japan? I find the interfaces to be fast, user friendly, and energy dense. Far better quality than what most of the western software people put out. You might need to clarify what you mean by behind - just business culture?
- throayobviousl 5y agoIs it a coincidence that sony and nintendo have horrendous online offerings?
- asutekku 5y agoWhat? The digital interfaces in Japan looked and felt like they were at least 10 years behind the curve. And if "energy dense" you mean that every single possible option was crammed to a small screen estate then sure.
- kevin_thibedeau 5y agoI have a personal lifetime ban on buying Panasonic/Matsushita products because of the cruddy alpha quality firmware they built into a dvd player. It crashed 100% of the time when playing CDs among many other unforgivable flaws. Their fix in the revised model was to put a reset button on the front panel. Japan cannot manage complex software without a lot of time and manpower.
