Conquest is probably on Czech market from 2005

So it should be better. But for Polish market it's really "from the begining" process.
Just look for PS4 Polish page: http://pl.playstation.com/ps4/
Nice, modern, simple.
Polish market of gaming is interesting I think. But for now only for PC/PS/Xbox fans.

You should care.
If 10.000 or 20.000 Wii U will be sold in Poland, this will have an impact too on the quantity and price of new games on this platform. Means you will be more happy. Maybe soon you'll play The Witcher on Wii U- made in Poland. 8-)

3. Lack of Sentiment

It's true. But Nintendo should start in Poland now like with NES/SNES/Wii in other coutries other days. It's a good moment - before momentum of other nextgens - to show Wii U power with 180 ready to buy games and accesories.

3 days ago - in Wroclaw too - I asked a dealer in RtvEuroAgd in Wroclaw (Arcady) is any game or console of Nintendo (not only the Wii U). The answer was: "Unfortunately, but Warsaw (HQ of RtvEuroAgd) not ordered. However, there was several types of PS3, XBox360 in sets, Fifa14, CoDGhost and more for Sony and Microsoft.
Too bad.

Thank you. It's the best analyse of Nintendo situation in Poland.
I have my blog (wiiu.com.pl) about Wii U for almost a year and it's not easy to explain always problems with Nintendo products in Poland.

Some additional information
1. Poles spend money on the latest games and consoles. They need to know about them. No advertising or lack of information or access in the shop - they choose another product.
2. Poles make up the mass of good games for other platforms

The Witcher 1/2/3,
Sniper: Ghost Warrior 1/2,
Painkiller,
Call of Juarez,
Dead Island

3. The only game on the Wii U with Polish language (only subtitles) is a Resident Evil: Revelations (Thank you Capcom). But Poles are familiar with foreign languages. No native language in the game is not the biggest problem.
4. Poles are great players and they can become very attached to the products and series.

Nintendo wasted easy a great market.
Benefits go to Sony and Microsoft without any problems.

Re: Poll: Is Nintendo's Wii U Advertising and Marketing Doing Enough?

@Spuratis COOL
I thinked that only in Poland Nintendo is not visible
(see www.nintendo.pl site).
But now I see - there is no adv around the world of Wii U.

N. Are you proud of Wii U? or are you ashamed of ?
Nintendo - please - use TV, use Internet, use social networks, use street adv., mall promotions for your best product! Show game trailers of GamePad, off-TV mode and family fun.
It's so difficult?

In brief:

  • x86 architecture is vulnerable (by OS used) -viruses, trojans, botnet? - we sometimes use our credits cards with consoles, right? OS for XboxOne will be some Windows-core version with new UI i think?
  • Xbox One Kinect will not be able to detach (home monitoring ?)
  • Lack of intimacy play on the new MS console ( large room recommended, TV always ON)
  • lack of backward compatibility - games and accessories
  • the price will be probably high

For best quality games I prefer DIY version of One for now - Upgrated PC.

Future Xbox One and PS4 owners - Please just test Wii U before you spend money consciously for next-genes from Sony or Microsoft.

Re: CNN Money: Nintendo Is "Tone Deaf" To Industry Trends And Has "Lost Touch With Reality"

I'll write to you what it looks like from Europe - Poland.
Shops with electronics here in Poland sels well PS3, Xbox and Wii ocassionaly. WiiU practically not exist. So Picture caption of shelves full of WiiU amused me. Wii U console in Poland is a ghost. Zero promotion, no advertising, very little shops with hardware, very few Box games in stores. For example, now is the time when in Catholic Church a lot of kids take part in the first Holy Communion. Of course, beside the religious aspect, it is always a moment of big shopping - 9-old kids get the mass of gifts - watches, bicycles, tablets, computers, expensive toys and of course gaming consoles. So what? Xbox, Ps3 rules and rarely Wii or 3DS ... No one knows what is the Wii U! After 5 months ! People want to buy consoles everywhere in the world ...

I bought Wii U after European launch, I'm super-happy about it. I see great potential in it and I am just looking forward ...
I do not need a lot of games right now. On my blog I wrote that, statistically, the number of games on the Wii U is OK Just look at the chart ...

I just want know, that Nintendo will be more aggressive and visible. He has great equipment, revolutionary controller. I know- US is the most important market, but Nintendo must think globally! And simply sell it worldwide. The first step is to simply inform about it (advertising, local promotions). The second - to deliver boxes and sell it even below cost! Developers themselves will come.
The good news is - our local Nintendo disributor is chainging right now. It must be better.
