They got a wrong partner in Russia. Prices was crazy (some period of time Wii in shops was more expensive than X360). Wii and DS was even hard to find in shops, and no games for them too. Then they established Nintendo of Russia. Things starting move to better, but very slow. 
NoR made a great feature called Nintendo Guardians. Its a fan of NIntendo, one to a big city. They gather NIntendo fans once per week in some pizza house/Burgerking/etc for streetpassing and playing games together. Some of food and drinks on the meeting is payed by Nintendo. Thats a best way to surely get some streetpasses for me! )))

Oh, I see! Do you happen to know how the PS4 is selling there? I'm just very curious about these things!

Looking on game forums - it sold good between fans, sonyboys community in Russia is strong. Now people thinking and not mich excited about both Ps4/X1. In real life - its available in a lot of shops. X1 isn't available in Russia yet officially, but diehard xbox fans already bought it from USA/Europe.
I think the console wich will be hacked first will win this gen in Russia. But not a WiiU. 
I'm not too much excited about PS4/X1 this gen, cause most of their games can be played on PC and Sony exclusives never interested me. I have a WiiU and 3DS and it currently seems that wil be it for me this gen.

I touched on this earlier... aren't you a little insulted by the fact that Russians are so frequently the villains in games... and films... and books... and everything?

No, I think we get used to it. Also, Russians often are cool and brutal villains lately, not the stupid ones. )

What do you think of this ?:

"Putin and the Orthodox Church woke excessive nationalism, and it is now virtually impossible to release the pressure [on Ukraine] without losing feathers and some of Putin's (huge) popularity. Putin can certainly be criticized and condemned, and must be deterred. But Western policy towards Russia since 1992 has not been a model of intelligence. With arrogance and flippancy, Europe and the United States took advantage of the weakness of Moscow. The West considered that Moscow no longer counted and expanded NATO regardless of how the Russians felt. Europe was clumsy, we should have made Russia a partner. And today's Russia is a reality, and to be hating Putin, however damaging his actions may have been, or fighting him through NGOs and the media is not a policy.

We must first put the Ukrainian conflict in historical perspective. Ukraine should be a country-bridge between the two worlds. Putin is not stupid, he does not really want to recreate a great Russia, he also said, "Anyone who does not regret the Soviet Union has no heart. Whoever wants to reconstruct it has no head. " So he wants us to re-comply with Russia, despite his mistakes! In fact, we failed to understand that the Russians are not over the demise of the USSR. And Putin seeks opportunities to demonstrate the need to again consider Russia. He first had the conflict in Georgia in 2008. Today it's Ukraine. And with the terrible blunder of the Malaysian downed aircraft, in all likelihood, by his protected separatist rebels, he is on the defensive, will not overcome it, and will eventually recede. Ukrainians now must play their best game, winning back the east, provide guarantees for Russian speakers, and establish a dialogue."

Do you have censored internet?

No

In short - pure bullshit

lol, that's from one of the most respected if not the most respected experts in France (Hubert Vedrine)
