Europe Won't See Nintendo Revolution until 2007
MCV UK reports that the Nintendo Revolution probably won’t hit Europe until 2007. According to a Nintendo executive who was not named, Nintendo is “currently looking at mirroring the DS strategy, so Revolution would release in the US first in November, closely followed by Japan. Then we’re looking at March 2007 for PAL territories.”
No matter what Nintendo says about “refusing to be drawn into” the pissing match between Sony and Microsoft, they’re certainly going to be in third place when it comes to installed base in the spring of 2007. Microsoft will have a full year of sales lead on them, and Sony should have a good three to six months, depending on the timing of that launch.
Will Nintendo fans get impatient and plunk down for one of the rival systems rather than wait? That’s certainly a risk the company’s taking.
