they probably didn't really have the personnel to respond in a timely manner, but no matter, nintendo definitely should have responded.

Why should they have responded? Green Peace isn't some government regulated bureau. Nintendo already has to adhear to many government environmental regulations. They don't have to answer to damn hippies.

Ah, the good old Greenpeace (maybe green peas would be better word to describe those vegetables), it always makes my bloodpressure rise. It was indeed a good thing, that the french sunked their rusty old pollutive boat.

Don't get me wrong, i'm generally an evinronmental person, although i don't support the destruction of mankind or shoot at nuclear power plants.
Fucking terrorists.

That had nothing to do with the topic, i just wanted to say what i think of GP.



Ei Kiinasti.

Eikä Japanisti.

Vaan pannaan jalalla koreasti.

 

Nintendo games sell only on Nintendo system.

on the other hand, it's equally bad, if not worse, that GreenPeace decides to give them a zero. this is equally irresponsible from their part--feels like a power struggle, in that they try to show Nintendo what they can do instead of actually educating consumers and providing a fair assessment of environmental impact.

 

sensationalism--that's what they're going for. too bad really.

 

ps. actually, not quite sensationalism.  i give up trying to come up with a word to describe green peace. 



the Wii is an epidemic.

 well, it can't hurt, can it?  that's what a company should do if it has good PR, and that's the whole point.

 at its heart nintendo isn't an electronics company, but for a company of that caliber it's no excuse.

wow, look at GP's wording:

"Nintendo completely fails to show any environmental credentials"

so carefully worded.

Just out of curiosity, where did you guys find the information supporting Green Peace asking Nintendo about this whole thing? All I found from reports were links to Nintendo's FAQ website, so I am kinda curious.

I would think Greenpeace tried to give a fair assessment of Nintendo by asking for information, and were thus denied the opportunity to do so.  Greenpeace is only making what information they have available to the public so they can make a decision for themselves.  Nintendo should have understood the ramifications of their decision not to give Greenpeace information.
