Forums - Nintendo - nintendo at harvey norman

Harvey Norman, a big furniture/electrical retail chain in Australia hasn't stocked nintendo products for a number of years now, i'm not sure of the reason, but i think some kind of falling out between the two companies. well a few months ago, i heard nintendo Australia and harvey norman were talking, and maybe they would stock nintendo products again soon. well, i thought it was just a rumour, but today in my local harvey norman, i was surprised to see a big empty shelf with wii and ds log's all over it, with coming soon sign's.

harvey norman is a pretty big retailer in Aus, and over the last 4/5 years or so has only stocked xbox and playstation consoles/games. i think this might help nintendo down under a bit, and might see more sales in Aus for the wii and ds.

 



Around the Network

That's good news I suppose.

The biggest seller for Harvey Norman, though overpriced mostly as it is, is the fact that they approve credit applications left, right and centre.

If you want something and can't afford it, and your credit isn't all that good, you can be sure you'll be more then likely approved at Harvey Norman. Add in their 24+ months interest free and that's the only way People Shop and pay full price at Harvey Norman.

I'm sure this will benefit the Wii as people who want one, yet can not afford one will now be able to get one easily on credit.

Other Then that, Hurray for Nintendo. Harvey Norman stuffed Nintendo up back with the Gamecube by dropping their products (GB + Gamecube) and left a sour taste with Nintendo.

Now that the Wii and DS are selling so damn well, HN wants to get back into the action.

I remember a while ago, HN announced they will soon be supplying the DS and then Nintendo Rebutted that statement and said they have no intension in dealing with HN because HN wanted cheaper deals then every other retail store in Australia. (Kinda rubbed their new found success back in HN face). I guess HN have now agreed to pay the full Wholesale price just so they can get in on the success and action Nintendo currently have.



It's me...  no really, it IS me!!!

Weird. But good news for Nintendo I guess.

Bet with disolitude: Left4Dead will have a higher Metacritic rating than Project Origin, 3 months after the second game's release.  (hasn't been 3 months but it looks like I won :-p )

Why did they not have Nintendo products in the first place ???

Anyway good for Nintendo ..... I think......  it´s not like they are having problems selling them yet.
