Not all companies are tied to it, ratings don't mean anything.

Nothing to do with image so I guess this thread wont be the troublemaking riot you hoped.

Sorry to burst your bubble

I cant figure out what the heck this guy's problem is. I mean seriously why are you defending Nintendo non-stop and are rude against everyone?

[QUOTE="GameOverKayo"][QUOTE="Jaysonguy"]

Yes, almost.

Europe almost sells as many copies as an entire region that's dedicated to the handheld.

Europe can't even beat the region where console games are in second place behind handheld games.

Doesnt matter. The European region is close to the Japanese market, atleast according to the Wii sales (SSBB is a Wii game) and therefore it would be idiotic to ignore such a huge market. Well what can you expect from Nintendo.

What part are you missing in all of this?

Europe is a console first, handheld second region.

Japan is a handheld first, console second region.

Just to expand on the Japanese region. Japan has seen it's console sales and software decline rapidly each year with more and more people choosing handhelds and their games. Nintendo is the only company to slow the decline of console/software sales with the Wii.

So console sales take second place in Japan yet they beat Europe. Overall Japan gives more money to Nintendo then Europe does.

So what's the point of giving the region that gives the least amount of money to Nintendo the best/better treatment?

What are you not understanding? This has nothing to do with the handhelds. I dont care about Japan being a handheld frist/console second region. SSBB is a Wii game, the Wii market is growing much faster than Japan in Europe and is almost as big. Therefore it DESERVES the same treatment, what is so hard to understand?
