Ubiquity is another important thing. As a part-time computer games journo

I weep at the way that Japan has taken computer gaming culture to

heart. They take it seriously over there, whereas in Britain and America

computer games are still treated as a minority interest.

If you pop into the Japan Centre outside Tower Records in London you can

buy some of the niche products, although I haven't seen anywhere that

stocks the Game Boy sonar (true -

)


And they have coffee vending machines. And the Nissan Figaro.
