Simultaneous global Revolution launch unlikely - Iwata

[Legend]

...And of course Nintendo - not being wise of many previous launches in the past - would wait until the very last minute to start dealing with these issues...

COME ON!

You think they're a bunch of morons or what? They know all about these matters for chrissakes.

even realising the dificulties doesn't make them easier.
what I am saying is that Sony or Ninty will sell every system they can make in a new generation for months. why spread thin and face alot of bumps in the road when you can focus on one market and capatalize on the potential marketing success?

I would at least go for a Jap/NA release, leaving Europe out until enough supplies cover both regions. I would even prefer one region at a time. that is what I think is best.

of course, Europeans will not like that, but hey

We've had hints from Reggy & Iwata that the Revolution launch could be similar to the DS launch, hitting territories within a few weeks timespan, whether it'll be the case or not is yet to be seen however.
