Epson, that company that makes printers and scanners and projectors and GAMING PCS? Well, they might not in America, but over in Japan, Epson is a jack-of-all-trades company with tons of offerings. What does a Japanese Epson Gaming PC have in it? What sets it apart from the others? Is there even a market for an Epson PC?

I am Japanese. I was one of the handful of my people to become a PC gamer back in the early 90s. The hardware and software was very hard to come by. I vividly remember, while our every electronic store was advertising DVD using PS2, I was asking around for Sound Blaster Card. I also remember smuggling Half Life 2 close to launch. I may have been the few or if not, the 1st Japanese to create Steam Account. And now, I see that my people are catching up. And all I can say is, never late than never. Btw, we pronounce Geo (Gay-O). I'm serious.

@CommodoreFan64 Год назад

I think you mean better late than never😅, but that's great to hear it's finally catching on there, more, and more. Living in a more rural part of the southeastern US all my life, my experience was more like yours in the 90's where a fair chunk of my friends where console only gamers, and outside of school use computer ownership was more scarce till even the mid 00's than a lot of places, but I grew up with my family having owned computers since I was 2 in the early 80's, and I was even working my butt off after school at my first job to build a gaming PC, and trying to get parts for good prices like Sound Blaster cards, so I was the tech geek in my town. 😅

But also, the JLPT scores will get you as far as an interview. But without having actual experience living in Japan, it might not be all you think it is. About half of newcomers only last a year before they go back to their home country.

I've been living in Japan for 17+ years. Epson is still a really big supplier, particularly for local and traditional Japanese companies. You often see them in warehouses, banks, and hospitals/clinics. Its not really the spec so much that attracts buyers, it's the quietness, readily available stock, and "Japan-based" support. (Fujitsu is also another manufacturer who sells in the same space.) No real gamers in Japan buy Epson for gaming. They either build their own, or buy pre-built ones from local companies (like from Mouse Computers). I've never seen anyone say "I'm going to Akiba to get and buy an Epson".😂

@TriegaDN Год назад

it really does look like it has a utilitarian philosophy to the design, with minor changes to make it more gamer as an after thought I guess this is the result or Japan getting more into PC gaming lately, going from an industry that would have been more focused on office use, hence how industrial it the build of the case seems to be
