Japan scraps U.S. meeting after Washington demands more defense spending

Yeah but enough people would.

In the US, Nintendo sold 1 switch for every 2.25 people. Japan could frustrate a lot of American parents during Christmas if they wanted to.

As I recall, consoles still eat up more of the US gaming market than PCs. And mobile gaming is still the fattest slice of the pie.

Exactly. People got super pissed when they realized they couldn’t order the S2. That made a lot of headlines.

You can currently buy the Nintendo switch 2 with relative ease in the US, but Japan could make that much harder.

No, no I wouldn't. PC gaming all the way and never sony.

Republicans want to control what games we play so this would make it easy for them

You think gamers are gonna get off the couch?

Japan should just hold back Nintendo and Sony videos games, systems, and games licensed for those systems. Americans would lose their shit.

More defense spending? They can’t even afford rice


Same as Spain. Trump: You must spend 5% in defense, Sanchez: we have enough with 2%, money for social system, health and education is more important.

Art of the deal

NATO is a military defense spending contract lol, Japan was able to walk away but Europe is going to lose their social safety nets to protect against a made up Russian menace, oops.
