GameStop Theorizes Wii Shortage Deliberate
In GameStop's quarterly public conference call, company COO Dan DeMatteo called out Nintendo on what he sees as intentional supply shortages. Along with the news that the company hit $5.3 Billion in 2006, Next Gen reports that the call contained several remarks on the next gen systems. The Wii, Dematteo thinks, has been short supplied because 'they made their numbers for the year ... [Nintendo's] new year starts April 1st, and I think we're going to see supply flowing.' They also commented on the Euro launch of the PS3, with CEO R. Richard Fontaine saying, 'I think the summary of that was that it was a very good launch falling somewhat short of what [GameStop's Euro managing directors] would call a great launch.'
You are mentally deficient. It's not a fanboy rant, just because it's not pro Sony.
I didn't say say it's not a good Blu Ray player, I said I don't trust them to make a good player in the PS3, just like the DVD player in the PS2 was (and is) pretty crappy. And I don't. We won't know if it supports all the fancy stuff in the Blu Ray spec until we've actually seen a sizable amount of content available that makes use for the format.
Apparently you don't remember what the DVD format launch was like and all the problems people had getting DVD's to play properly on early DVD players for the first year or two (and the DVD format is much less elaborate than the Blu Ray format).
At a guess, that's probably because you are an 13 year old who's brain is fried on Ritalin.
