Are "friends" electric? Sony's Aibo robot dogs aren't just for otaku anymore: ordinary people are buying them, and becoming emotionally attached to them, despite knowing that they are just consumer electronic devices. Meanwhile, Sega aims to one-up this fashion, by producing toy robot humans, with simulated emotions and facial expressions. Now if you can't make friends, you can at least buy one.
