In europe it really is. Europe is really a tough market for nintendo. Nintendo really strugle at targeting multiple countries, because they don't work with a nitendo for each country(nintendo eua, nitenndo canada=> nintendo of america). They contract marketing agencies on each country and not have a representaion there. And then we have a region locked console and a club nitenndo that only work on 2~3 countries between more than 17. Its something that they really need to rethink how they work. Anyone living on brasil know what i am talking about.
"Hardware design isn’t about making the most powerful thing you can.
Today most hardware design is left to other companies, but when you make hardware without taking into account the needs of the eventual software developers, you end up with bloated hardware full of pointless excess. From the outset one must consider design from both a hardware and software perspective."
