Remember this system is launched in more countries in the world than any Nintendo platform before it and is completely 100% region free. So yeah... I don't think selling the thing will be hard as long as Nintendo can keep up with the demand through production which seems to be detailed in their plans. One thing I think a lot of "Nintendo fans" need to understand is that Iwata strived for a smaller company and he worked hard to keep things more private and controlled. He was a great guy but he ran the company in a very conservative manner. Kimishima seems to want to bring the "Big Red" Nintendo back from the 90's. I think you can expect the company to be bigger with much more marketing in the future. More corporate deals. Even Reggie's tone and approach seems a little more mass appealing. I don't think we'll be seeing small scale production and products held back. I think the idea for that was to make sure all the products made are sold. Keeping demand higher to ensure more units sold. I don't doubt the potential of sales that this console can have. I'll be a little shocked doesn't at least surpass 40-60 million world wide. |
the no longer having region lock is going to make the system extremely attractive in a lot of foreign markets, can't count the number of times I've seen people worldwide complaining about the feature
