Nintendo promised to keep the world smiling at last year’s E3. The company made a few other predictions too, with less than stellar results…
Bob Pelloni’s 15,000 hours spent making a DS homebrew might sound somewhat extreme. Well, now he’s spending 100 days in a room, “locked and barricaded from the outside,” to protest Nintendo’s treatment of his project.
Can’t be long. And according to Reggie, it’s not long at all. Speaking with Wired, the NoA boss has said that despite North America receiving 40% of the global allocation of Wii consoles, the average console is sitting on a retail shelf for around an hour before it’s swooped up, thrown into a basket with Wii Play, and carried out of the store. To Nintendo, that’s a success story, but if you’re still waiting for a Wii 17 months after launch, it’s a pain in the arse. Will knowing Reggie is “passionately upset about the lack of product relative to demand” help ease your pain? Nintendo: Average Wii Sits on Shelf for Just an Hour [Game|Life]
