Not surprised, Nintendo is more obscure here than Xbox is in Japan, there are a lot of jokes about people buying Nintendo products here even on respected gaming sites.
I blame two things, well three if you want to blame Obama. No nostalgia factor, no NES, SNES oficially here, just Russian fakes like Pegasus. There were GameBoys, but very few people thought about it as Nintendo GameBoy, just GameBoy. And then came PlayStation and the rest is history.
Second thing is, Nintendo doesn't give two shits about Poland, there's even no Nintendo Poland (that's one popular joke about that) everything regarding Nintendo hardware and software is outsourced to a company that clearly isn't doing a good job, can't recall the name Stadtbauer or something, I think the company was changed recently. Vita (yes that Vita) outsold lifetime 3DS sales in Poland in it's first day or week can't remember, on the market, that's how bad it is.

Plus Poland is still mostly PC oriented. PlayStation gained some mind and market share, after PS2 got a reasonable price (around 750€ equivalent at launch) cause both PS2 and PSP were easy to hack, that's also why X360 is quite popular here, cheaper than PS3 and easily hacked, sad but true.

But clearly SCE Poland found success in our market. Every first party title has full dubbing, often with our local celebrities, actors etc. And there are a lot of commercials (TV, cinemas) when a big game launches or during the holidays.



So it is happening...PS4 preorder.

Greatness Awaits!
