World-Wide Revolution Launch Unneeded

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the going-global dept.

GamesIndustry.biz reports that, in the words of Nintendo President Iwata, a simultaneous global launch for the Nintendo Revolution is not necessary. From the article: "We don't think it's necessary to do the simultaneous worldwide launch simply because others are doing this." He also goes on to mention that they plan to have the DS shortage problem at least partially taken care of by the end of April.

    Look at xbox 360. Tons of units sitting on the shelves in Japan, and people can't even find one in the US.

    You can't? I was under the impression that they were also sitting on the shelves in the States. At least, that's the impression I get from local game stores...

    While worldwide launches are probably a bad thing for the customers. I think it's a very effective way of creating media hype. Then again Nintendo is more fan-consoles than oooh-they're-trendy-consoles.
    Kudos to them!
