Special report Tokyo's Akihabara district may be fabled the world over as a geek wonderland and a tech writer's dream, but the reality as El Reg found out last weekend is rather different. Step out of the station's "Electric Town" (denki machi) exit today and it's difficult to see what all the fuss is about.

This article is a bit depressing and I don't think it speaks to the truth as one may think. It focuses excessively on maid cafés and retailers that cater to otaku, and says little to nothing about the electronic products market. I'm not an expert on that situation but I'm pretty sure everything is okay in Akiba ;)
