I think the references just are press releases, but considering the language problem, I may be wrong DGG ( talk ) 05:01, 31 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Based one the coverage in English, this gets a weak delete from me. A single short article [1] in CIO Asia seems all there is in terms of independent coverage in English. Someone not using his real name (talk) 17:03, 4 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Someone should try to figure out if the foreign-language (mostly Japanese) sources are unadulterated press releases, advertorials (e.g. barely edited press releases), or genuine independent coverage. The CNET Japan page seems to be an interview, so not terribly useful as coverage of the software, although in this case the company and the software seem to be pretty much one topic. There isn't much other coverage on CNET Japan of this company/product besides that interview though [2]. Based on what I can tell from the ZDNet page [3] that is more or less an advertisement/news piece, not really a product review. So independent RS coverage seems pretty thin, even in Japanese. It's possible for some software or web site to achieve widespread national notoriety but not be really noticed in English, but that doesn't seem to be the case here. The amount and depth of coverage is pretty modest in Japanese too. Someone not using his real name (talk) 17:06, 4 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.
