They have the 3DS in china for a while now and just like the xbox one it aint doing well.


wut. WUT.WHAT. It can't be. When did it launch? Where are the tv ads and 3ds games in retailers in China? 

 

Those must be imports from Japan from people that know of Nintendo's existance.


It's called the ique 3ds xl, which launched in 2012.

Unfortunatly still not the "Nintendo 3DS".    Also, does it get advertisements on TV?

Toastboy was a blight on VGChartz, it's a better place without him, and this thread is a reminder of why.

Wait? Why is this thread a reminder of why Toastboy was a blight on VGChartz? Wasn't he like a hardcore Xbox follower?

He was fond of spreading FUD just like this.

That's not a good reason at all. They probably haven't gotten approval from the government there or still need a Chinese partner.

Well the WiiU released in Brazil was costing like 700-800 dollars, quite absurd... Kinect X1 released for the same price (someplaces lower).

The reason is that nintendo wants to make cheaper versions of wii u and 3ds for china and the other emerging markets,or they may want to release wii and dsi!Xb1 doesn't perfom well,neither probably ps4 will,why releasing wii u then?China market is huge but currently is tiny for gaming consoles and actually not so friendly to foreign products(mainly or only American and Japanese)!Just with low prices(i.e an affordable product),something might do well there...

What Iwata actually said was "We want to make new things, with new thinking rather than a cheaper version of what we currently have" "The product and price balance must be made from scratch" 

So you're already wrong lol.

Really a blight on vgchartz? Imo his threads where a nice distraction from the xbox hate fanboy fueled bullshit you see every day.

His Nintendo-related threads, earlier on in his career. He migrated to pro-Xbox threads after we really clamped down on his anti-Nintendo FUD.
