Title: Harvey Norman Starting to Support Nintendo Again!!!
Post by: Shorty McNostril on September 20, 2006, 03:38:15 AM
I didn't expect this at all.  Apparently Harvey Norman wants to start selling Nintendo products again after they dropped all Nintendo support. Specifically Wii.  See the link below.

I wonder if they will start selling DS as well.

Thoughts??

LOL they had to add a little "jab" in there about Nintendo being tiku tiku tiku! . Sounds like someone's jealous of all the business Toys R Us is getting.

Can you really buy a couch and like a motherboard at the same place?

This is a good sign if previous droppers bring support back.

Can you really blame them?

Sure, it's dumb that they dropped Nintendo in the first place, but of course that's just my opinion as a Nintendo fan (more dumb if I actually shopped in such a place).  With all the hype the Wii is getting, it'd be extremely dumb to keep that Nintendo boycott.  If they dropped it in the first place because they didn't think Nintendo products sold well, it'd only be logical that they'd pick them back up if they thought they would sell.

Yup, there's actually a Wii bandwagon now.  Better get on.

EDIT: When did "boycott" become a modable word?

Hurrrr, at first I was all like, "Who's Harvey Norman, and why should I care?"

This seems like good news, although I'm surprised they didn't announce DS first.

Harvey Norman were flooding TV with PS3 ads prior Sony withdrawing PS3 to March next year here. It must have wasted them a fortune.
In any case, good they are supporing Nintendo again, but really overpriced in everything.
