How is that concern for consumers and not just concern for the bottom line?  More people the device works for means more sales.  And they avoid the inevitable annoying media uproar if their product doesn't work with everyone (like when people thought that Kinect might not work with dark black people.)  Seems like the same thing any company would do.


Your making my point for me.  Of course its not concern for the bottom line, if they just wanted money they would have released it and kept their mouths shut until 20% of the audience started complaining.  And avoiding media uproar is a good thing.  

Another example if that's not good enough for you is the 3DS.  Before it was even released they released a statement warning of the possible effects it could have on your eyes.  They read the warning label in their promotional statements...  That is just crazy.  Usually we would have to wait for a professional talk about the dangers of 3D screens or for it to come out and shocked news crews start reporting on the device.  Nintendo has been as upfront as possible about all of their problems.  

And please don't triple quote, that's annoying as hell.  

Only if you had no worry about ruining your image, which is again to protect the bottom line.

3DS is put out with those warning because otherwise people will sue, same reason everytime I put in a game with Move it does the same warnings every Wii game with motion does.  again, for the bottom line.

I'm sorry, but Nintendo is not a company that runs on their customers hopes and dreams mixed with unicorn farts, they're just a company and they do things for the same reason every company does, for their own sake.
