reverie on 20 April 2007
Figures for Wii, 360 and PS3 are quite low. I wouldn't be surprised to see NPD posting an update soon. If the figures hold up I'd really wonder what is going on at Nintendo US. Holding back merchandise just doesn't make business sense. It makes sense to conspiracy theorists, it may make sense to middle (or mediocre) management that are out for bonuses, but for the company as a whole it will mean losing that 2 or 5% of customers who are sick of waiting for good, and I can't believe Nintendo is run like that.
Hardcore gaming is a bubble economy blown up by Microsoft's $7 $6 billion losses.
