It seems fair. We don’t want Nintendo to bite off more than they can chew. Even though Sony and Microsoft have released their existing next-generation systems in China, Nintendo has a lot of things that they are working on at this time.
How do you feel about this? Do you think that Nintendo is making a smart move? Or are they losing money buy letting their competitors have China all to themselves?
