reverie on 19 May 2007
Rath,
"That is more a mark of the Wii's unexpected popularity than a fault of Nintendo."
I used to be of the same opinion in January, February, March, but it's May now. They are too slow.
"As far as I know Nintendo have met every shipping target that they had set"
Nope, they had projected 4 million sold to retail by the end of calender 2006 but reached only 3.2 million. And even if you think that Nintendo's manufacturing performance was top notch it doesn't make Sony's look bad.
I know it's kind of anal to distinguish between manufacturing performance and sales performance, but I just don't like the hyperbole and vilification going around here. It's a company with a product that doesn't sell, so what.
Hardcore gaming is a bubble economy blown up by Microsoft's $7 $6 billion losses.
