u know what i realised @ the weekend. the outsorcing and media coverage is probably realated. for usa/canada/uk/western europe its easier for pubs 2 put on events etc or get skus 4 the media. if a dev in shanghai is on a u sku, it's not easy to show something playable. and also if a sku is oursourced u hav this sitch where the main devs r interviewed and hav nothing 2 say on u vers as its happening @ some foreign studio on some other sid of the globe.

Amazon sticks up for Nintendo, says they're here to stay, says press attacks them unfairly


“Contrary to a lot of people’s opinion, Nintendo is here to stay and Nintendo will do very well this year. They’re not going to meet their expectations, absolutely, but they’ve still got strong franchises and strong hardware and if you look at the back end of last year when they had a fairly good release slate, it certainly drove their hardware. 3DS has done very well for us so that format is here to stay.


I think Nintendo have this imposed on them and it’s driven by a lot of the media, and the media drives perception. Nintendo are getting a lot of bad press and PR and as soon as anything negative is out there it’s a media frenzy. It diminishes what they’ve actually done. If you look at 3DS as a format, it has done very well last year – had that sort of performance been with Microsoft or Sony, my personal opinion is that everybody would be thinking ‘wow, what a fantastic job’. Because it’s Nintendo and they’ve been embroiled in this negative PR frenzy, everyone thinks it’s a dying format. It’s absolutely not.”

But all Amazon say is how good 3DS is doing....that's not the problem. Their home console business is.
