I was expecting a good argument on why it's launched in JA prior to US, UK or EU. Just the fact that Japan is a big adaptor for robotics doesn't make it. Roomba and others have established solid markets for that kind of product outside of Japan already. I hope Dyson can match the demand and will start selling the 360 eye globally soon.
- toyg 12y agoI think the real motivation for a Japan-only launch is that, if things don't work out, they can quietly kill it without experiencing a costly PR fiasco in Western markets. Which is a bit weak for such a "revolutionary" products.
- ZenoArrow 12y agoI wonder if part of the decision on the Japan-first launch was due to the Japanese market being the first to show decent interest in the original Dyson vacuums.
