That's why you are still not an investor? (partly kidding).

Not only the world is 7 billion different human beings but Japenese and people from SEA have very different cultures and purchases from the typical westerns.

As far as I'm concerned, I'd be interested in buying it if: it was cheaper. solid enough that my real dog doesn't break it.



I don't know, I think the first step to being a good investor is to avoid opportunities that make absolutely no sense to you personally. :)

I just think that Sony's claims that this is anything resembling a dog replacement is ridiculous, because I believe that regardless of culture or how you were raised, humans from birth see inherent difference between living things and objects and mixing the concepts is a mentally stressing activity.


> opportunities that make absolutely no sense to you personally

No. You are consuming a very tiny part of the world production. By going through that mindset, you are limiting yourself in a very big way. And you might be hurting yourself if you are not a very typical individual.
