I've found the source for the remaining numbers, and they do seem to come from Concentra, the company responsible for bringing Nintendo products to Portugal (which btw, does a pretty shitty job at that). They seem pleased by those numbers (which further confirms my notion that they suck, beyond the delays, the prices, and the fact that some retailers skip them entirely, as evidenced by their products coming with stars).

One thing I question, though, is whether dominating small markets at this point in time is relevant in any way. It's not like we make trends - we're "doomed" to follow them. I mean, if another console: a) dominates worldwide; b) wins the UK or, a little less importantly for us, Spain; and c) localized versions of FIFA and PES come out for it (those, and some kid's games, are the only games we don't play the UK versions of)... I'm guessing it'll eventually become popular anyway, even if it's not marketed well enough. Further, I'd say that pretty much the same should happen for every smaller market. What do you think?




Reality has a Nintendo bias.
