Dear God!! Seems like Iceland likes quality gaming.

Do you have a link for the interview?

Hint: You could probably find it on YouTube :D

Well that's a start, at this rate Nintendo may be able to sell 10 Wii U's by 2017 in Iceland.

The next time that I'm making the joke of "there's only like seven Wii U's sold", I'm using Iceland as the example.

People usually buy based on experience and WOM. Secondly, Nintendo have just done a terrible job here to make their consoles appealing. Games can barely be found in stores and I don't often notice a WiiU.

Aww, you took the bait. 



Sigs are dumb. And so are you!

Yeah, forgot to post it. But I really doubt you will understand anything . And the sound is pretty bad, unfortunately. They say they're going to upgrade their mic

 

 

He mentions the stats in the 0:30-1:00 area iirc

You're right, i couldn't understand it and there was no option to use subtitles :(

But i'm very happy to hear Madonna in the background :P

Icelanders are people with great taste. I think i know where i'll spend my next vacation.

Would be interessting to find out the sales ratio.

3 sales within 14 month vs 100 sales in 14 minutes.
(60*60*24*425:14)

@snyps
you'd be instantly moderated by Mr Khan for posting such a comment against Nintendo.
But as its not about nintendo noone cares.

"so why do you think people didn't buy more Wii U's?"

"because they can't, we only ordered 3"



“It appeared that there had even been demonstrations to thank Big Brother for raising the chocolate ration to twenty grams a week. And only yesterday, he reflected, it had been announced that the ration was to be reduced to twenty grams a week. Was it possible that they could swallow that, after only twenty-four hours? Yes, they swallowed it.”
