Global Launch still on for Revolution
Despite previous rumors, Nintendo’s president Satoru Iwata stated that his previous comments may have been taken out of context and that a worldwide launch for the Revolution is still planned. After saying, “We don’t think it’s necessary to do the simultaneous worldwide launch simply because others are doing this”, speculators assumed that this meant the idea of an international launch was out the window. On the contrary, Iwata actually meant that the Revolution isn’t launching globally just so Nintendo wouldn’t be outdone by Sony and Microsoft. Considering the amount of trouble Microsoft experienced with their launch, this may or may not be a good thing for those seeking to purchase a Revolution in the near future.
