Three leading platform holders (Microsoft, Nintendo and Sony) all told MCV that supply might not meet demand this Q4.
The new Nintendo-focused emulator for the iPhone is now available with support for several classic systems.
Sued for what? It's just an emulator no ROMs are with it. ROMs are easy to get anyway, but with iPhone you can't just copy and paste like Android unless it's jail broken I think. Anyway Nintendo should be more concerned with their ROMs up to torrent for years for all of their concoles, but then again they can't do nothing about it, they never will and I love it. 🤣
Won't belong before Nintendo bangs on Apple's door to have the emu removed. Like I say you take down one six more take it's place. Problem is people are putting emu's on such stupid platforms. The good emus are the ones not on stupid platforms like a red target. The good emu's are word of mouth and keep a low profile.
GB: "With this feature, we will be taking a look at 15 of the best games from the PlayStation 2's vast library."
Plenty of unforgettable games have completely messed up their players throughout the years, all the way back from the PS1 days to the dark recesses of the modern internet.
Wishful thinking by MS + Sony.
LOL at the picture?! So MS and Nintendo will have controller shortages and PS3 console wont be on any shelves this holiday.
This is a case of Nintendo envy. I think the fact that you STILL wont be able to buy a Wii this holiday season will help sales for both the PS3 and 360. But SOLD OUT??? gimmie a break
...or at least pay attention to the source: they're talking about shortages in the UK, not worldwide and definitely not in the US.
Its just another reflection of euro gamers getting the short end of the stick yet again.
1- All three manufacturers have limits on production of some kind or another.
2- Sony and Nintendo are in a dogfight over Japan and neither can afford to fall short there.
3- MS is strongest in the US and they're not about to let that control slip by not shipping enough product.
End result?
Each region gets a quota, but the manufacturers' home regions get first dibs at any extra production they can scare up over the next month or so. Only after those markets are fully addressed, do the other regions get their quotas reevaluated. Obviously, for MS, europe is number 2, with the emerging india and latin markets coming next, since Japan is pretty much a lost cause. For Nintendo and Sony, Europe is number three and the rest of the world barely registers at this point in time, so those quotas are most likely to be cast in concrete. If the markets sell out, they won't be refreshed until past the holidays.
Not fair by any stretch of the imagination but that's how they're playing it: all camps need to secure their home base or, in Sony's case, not fall so far behind as to get buried.
Also consider that any talk of shortages is bound to scare a few would-be buyers into pulling the trigger early. So even if they don't really expect shortages, it doesn't hurt the marketing to hint at them... :-D
Not true, cause Nintendo said they will deliver alot of Wii for Xmass.
Sony, in all honesty needs a shortage spur... A self created one, at that. If you can't obtain something, all of a sudden it becomes in demand. It's an undermining business tactic, but not an unheard of one. Sony should think about hording alot of PS3's off into a warehouse this year and only selling thru 2 million units. And for christmas, they could easily sell 2 million units if the circumstances were right. Xbox 360 won't have a shortage... it's too accessible. Wii, is so cheap it'll no doubt have another impulsive shortage. Strange days, folks.
