My Xenoblade thread at GS is going to get more interesting as the Nintendo hate crew starts to show up.



And yes NOA sucks. ... It makes no sense and what is worse is that Nintendo of Japan allows it.




Do any of us really think that NOA makes these decisions for themselves?  I've always just seen them as the local distributor and Reggie as a PR guy.  I don't get any impression at all that they get to make such calls.

Even so, all this faux outrage from people who would never have bought it anyway is a bit rich.  I think some people are just using it as an excuse to hammer Nintendo.

If that's the case, why release the game in Europe then? It would sell just as good here as it will there, if not better.

I'm guessing they have the market research that shows that Nintendo is catering to a more enthusiast fanbase in the EU than their broader market in North America.

Still at the airport, it's been a day of delays. I played lots of Zelda at least. I have forgotten almost everything after the water temple.

Last time I looked Nintendo was a *business* that means their whole reason for living is to *make money*.  If it made money sense to sell it in North America they would do it.

I still think their may be more strategic reasons behind their decision that have to do with the U being released and wanting to have something in their back-pocket in case it is not an immediate hit.  They have to keep people's Wii's plugged in long enough for Dragon Quest X to be released as well.  So they may be keeping these to trickle out over the next 18 months.

I've been playing the usual.

I'm about 6 hours from finishing Morrowind, on the last level of Champions of Norrath and up to 6-3 in New Super Mario Bros (DS).

EDIT: I just checked a FAQ, I'm no on the last mision of the Main Quest!

Why release DQX then? It doesn't sell well in America. There are games that sell 50k copies and the publishers are happy, they must make money. Everything is done on the game, they have to make money on it if it's released in America.

Guessing again, Nintendo has gone out of their way to get into Square's good books, publishing the DQ franchise in the US is an investment in their ongoing publisher relations with Square (which pays for itself in Japan).

To be clear, I'm not putting myself as some all-knowing soothsayer on this matter, I'm groping for answers as much as the next guy.

Yeah I really can't figure out why Nintendo doesn't release Xenoblade Chronicles here in NA. All the hard work is done already, surely it'd make money for them. I'd certainly buy it if they released it here but they aren't going to do that so, fuck 'em. There's plenty of other games for me to spend my money on.
