I bet most people here didn't know how Nintendo treats European countries that aren't called UK, Germany or France. People here tried to put the blame on "Europeans", so I showed you that it's not our faul, that's all. I'm just presenting the situation to you. Personally, I don't care about the Wii U at all, there is no way I'm getting it the next 2-3 year, but I'm not a hater, I own a Wii and a DSi. I'm just reporting something that probably is news to most of you. I mean, just look at my sig, I'm not playing Uncharted: Golden Abyss. I'm playing Uncharted: Złota Otchłań, a fully translated and dubbed by movie stars version of the game. If Sony cares to do that, why should anyone care about Nintendo, which doesn't even care to put a photo of 3DS or Wii U on their web page? And people complain we are "Sonyland"... I'm sorry about the situation in your country, hope it changes. Just bear in mind, that in my country we have 2 companies that treat us the way they should in Sony and MS (since November 2010, when they finally launched Live) and we have Nintendo that doesn't exist here. You wonder why they lose in the market? I think this is one of the reasons. |
No offence mate but if any of us ran companies we'd probably do the same in favouring the UK, Germany and such, Eastern Europe is a very PC orientated region with many players being into RTS', Counter Strike and such, the total console sales from the usual EU countries like UK, France, Germany and so on may very well be more then all the smaller EU contries combined which is why Nintendo often has a third party company deal with the smaller countries instead of directly.
I highly doubt Sony does well because of the effort put in but more because of the diverse taste the entire EU has. Nintendo tends to have a slow start in EU because our launches are always erratic but they eventually go on to become strong in the bigger EU countries because the first party library are sort after like gold in them, the main reason Wii U at the moment is doing as well here is because we hardly have any stock to begin with. 125k at launch across the whole EU?
