Gamestop: location of core gamer customers.
Amazon, walmart, beat buy: generally casual.
I.e. this is targeting the core, Vita's main targetbase.
Highly tactical move, this would also explain cpp (circle pad pro) being gamestop only. It's a core gamer's peripheral, or at least certainly not a casual gamer's peripheral.
Good Job Ninty, sorry Vita :S this isn't the kind of competition I'm for (killing off your rivals), but very aggressive move by Nintendo. By the looks of it, they are very serious this gen, and aggressively fending off their competition. For that, I say bravo, and it was about time.
So much for PR, so much for Reggie's "we don't worry about the competition". It was all a snag some of us fell for. ;)
