| Metallicube said: Economy? (look at Greece for instance) Their undying love for Sony products? I have no idea to be honest.. Nintendo could have a hard time trying to appeal to the European crowd, as they are a strange beast when it comes to taste in games, and hard to pinpoint.. You know to get Japanese support you just need to crank out Dragon Quest, Monster Hunter, Final Fantasy, 2D Mario, quirky mini games, JRPGs, etc.. In the US you of course have FPS, WRPGs, 2D Mario, Dance games, etc.. But what to Europeans favor? I guess if we were going to go by their love of Sony games, I'd say it's more cinema heavy action/adventure games, but cinema heavy isn't really Nintendo's style (thankfully), so I dunno... |
We europeans are no strange beast - we are simply different countries, unlike the other two regions that consist only (Japan) or mainly (America) of sales in one country. But people from Spain, the UK, France, Poland or Italy have often a different culture and different tastes. It got a bit easier now that many of the countries have the same currency, but by far not all have. There are different governmental regulations, different languages and so on. That all makes the business difficult in europe - but that doesn't makes us strange.
