They're going to need to bring the PSP back to the main page. It's amazing how well it's hanging on. Sony has to be relatively pleased how well it's performing in some markets.

I'm a bit surprised that the Wii isn't bigger in those same markets, the way the PS2 was for many years. Does Nintendo push hard in developing countries?


I think Nintendo's a bit too small for branches out in the middle of nowhere. Where Sony is likely to have wider market connections.

I mean they can't even take care of 3 regions right, how do you expect them to take care of all of them?

Partnerships.  I know they don't have the shipping connections of someone like Sony, but they can team up with worldwide retailers like Amazon ... oh, yeah.

Eh.  Maybe you're right.  I do get the feeling that Nintendo is missing out some additional sales for the Wii, though.

 

i think it's more marketing than shipping. 

..shipping only holds them back in nintendo literally ships 0 units to a region and sony ships to.  sony having the ability get those markets to buy products, i think, is a reflection that sony ship enough products (playstation, phones, tv, ect) to have dedicated/localized marketing teams.  nintendo just can't justify the same kind of investment when at any given time they only have 4 products to sell (exclucluding games of course).
