Forums - Nintendo - Anybody seen the new China Vii commercial? Talk about Stupid

Talented Fool on 03 December 2007

Ug. Does anyone know why game companies don't release consoles in China within a year of console releases of other countries? Stuff like this would have nowhere near the impact if console makers released theirs around the same time the rest of the world got them.

And I am very surprised at this, seriously, its the first time I ever seen a knockoff have a commercial on TV, which is pretty huge in how much people it can reach.

China has very little patent or other IP protection, etc... I doubt there is much Nintendo could do about it in China.

I'm confused, that either made me want to move to China, or kill myself.

My Wii nickname is N7. Thats because this is Nintendo's 7th generation console. VII (roman numerals, get it?). That said, despite the Wii being a phenomenal success, I think Nintendo should've used the name Vii first. I think it sounded cooler. Then again, a world with no Wii puns? What kind of world is that?

Meh? Am i not getting ur post properly, cos the Wii is actually nintendos 5th console?

meh, im prolly being stupid and not getting it.

 

Yeah, Vii sux. There was a review of it on the net, and it just seemed hilarious.

 I read somewhere that Wii actually has a meaning in older Kanji which is why Nintendo choose it
