I say they stabbed Nintendo in the back because even America gave Nintendo over 20 million in sales. We would come through again for the GC and the Wii. I know that North America as a whole has more people, but the gap between the two in sales is way too big I think. Funny how Japan seems to treat Nintendo like dirt, yet they get all the games and the love. They matter so much, but Americans saved Nintendo. While Sony was off rocking the Japanese to sleep, giving them foot massages, and taking them out for nice meals Nintendo was slaving away trying to figure out why it's people abandoned them. This is not for you to tell me the reason why they abandoned Nintendo. Going mobile/Handheld/online culture, they did not care about Perfect Dark or Goldeneye that much, etc. This is just wondering what it felt like for someone to stab their hometown hero in the back.
Now that the 3DS is out...Welcome Back Japan! Welcome home! Yes, I am saying that despite the DS sales, they were almost willing to leave for the PSP. Pushing it to AStronomical numbers. |
You got that right.
Their apparent obsession with very small home consoles seems to imply they´re tailor made for Japan first, the rest of the world second, never mind the rest of the world buys far more home consoles than Japan (not saying small consoles aren´t something other markets want, just an observation)
