Your arguments are not backed by Proof. Prove that keeping them down longer is more beneficial than putting them up now. You can't just ASSUME people are willing to wait. Do you know everyone? Did you hold a poll? Have you done any research into what the player base wants?

And how do you know what kind of impact this will even have on the power supply? Sure, every bit counts, but Japan has a fairly dense population. I'm sure the amount of power the servers are using is nothing compared to what Toyota uses at their plants, which are running.

We want Facts, not baseless assumptions on your part that this is what they should be doing, when you are just assuming everything you say is true.
