Ok lets go after spanish gamers.


Nice strategy..

Minus one problem...

Most spanish speaking people live in a poor economy which means they cannot afford wii consoles at nearly 300.00 u.s dollers.

Nintendo has always sold its products here in Mexico thru third party dealers. The problem is that Nintendo doesnt have a local office or subsidiary and obviously doesnt supervise the dealers activities so they do whatever they want. This result also in a high price of the big N products (just imagine, we pay the equivalent to 400 USD for a Wii console) and poor costumer support. Nintendo needs to have presence here and take control the same way Microsoft and Sony does.

Dude, gas is only 11 cents a gallon in Venezuela. And what about Brazil, Ecuador, and Argentina? It's not like 100% of the population lives in shacks. They all have plenty of people that live normal lives just like you and me.
