Taiwan may be hosting one of the premier manufacturing companies behind the many parts of the Nintendo Wii, but lately it hasn't been given love by Nintendo itself. But by the second quarter of 2008, that will no longer be the case. Nintendo's subsidiary in Taiwan, Nintendo Phuten, has delegated distribution rights to two lucky companies: Hakuya and Weblink. More details at the full story.
The Nintendo Wii is arriving in the Republican state of Taiwan - that's what we hear from locally in-the-know DigiTimes. In fact, a report notes that two companies have been lined up to distribute Nintendo products, and both Hakuyu and Weblink International will be the lucky ones to profit from selling Wii software, hardware, and accessories - the works.
Unfortunately for them, the popularity of the Wii has matured long before the move was made, and local outlets are well supplied with imported units from the East and West. Some industry analysts in the local market believe Nintendo will strive to make their official releases more attractive than those available and offer packages at irresistible prices.
Hakuyu is noted to be Nintendo's premier retail partner in Taiwan, though Weblink International and its 6,000 sales agents nationwide, has warmed up to Nintendo's Taiwan subsidiary, Nintendo Phuten to gain distributive rights.
