Does anyone think this is happening and will this increased shelf space (wallmart was mentioned previously) inadvertantly lead to successfull sales for stuff like DC, T4, MM and MW. I think it has to work, irrespective of how many awful titles there are. I can only assume that COD WaW got, or has been getting, much more shelf space and i think other games should get exposure too.
And i agree that Nintendo should be bashing retailers about shelf space in order to promote their side of the business that is now way behind. While family oriented crap should easily move numbers they need to take responsibilty for what is lacking.
“When we make some new announcement and if there is no positive initial reaction from the market, I try to think of it as a good sign because that can be interpreted as people reacting to something groundbreaking. ...if the employees were always minding themselves to do whatever the market is requiring at any moment, and if they were always focusing on something we can sell right now for the short term, it would be very limiting. We are trying to think outside the box.” - Satoru Iwata - This is why corporate multinationals will never truly understand, or risk doing, what Nintendo does.
