Nintendo--no plans to expand in the U.S.
Category: Wii, Posted: 11/29/2007 at 06:37PM CST by Kelly Ng, Content Writer
You'd think with the Wii's "sold-out" mystique and high demand, Nintendo would be milking the hell out of it. Maybe pump more games out, maybe come out with more peripherals, or maybe just get it over with and take over the world.
Senior vice president George Harrison recently stated, "I'm not aware of any plans to push for more software development here in the U.S. The actual decision about producing more software and who should do it is driven by Satoru Iwata and the management team, including Mr. Miyamoto, in Japan."
The Wii is selling more here than it is in Japan... so what's the hold up?

Ya srsly, i mean, theres lots of games, but even a hxc nintendo fan boi like me will admit that alot of them are the EXACT SAME FORMULA. we need more devs, cmon!
i think their decision is for the best so that we dont get flooded with crap
That's probably a good plan, actually, if you think about it.
Meh, I'd rather have a ton of games personally.
I know if I had a console flying off the shelves like the Wii, then I'd certainly push out a HUGE number of games. Just think of the moneys!!!
I'd rather have less good and innovative games than loads of crap.
Quality > Quantity.
Would rather have resources being used wisely, no spray n pray.
