Some clarifications on the matters that are being discussed. CPS clearly is a little bit misinformed.

There are Greek NNID accounts on the eShop, I do not know where you get your information but the reason you couldn't buy or still can't buy in some occasions digital games was because of the capital controls plus restrictions that the specific banks in Greece applied on credit card holders and pre paid cards. Plus specific online bank services like pay pal blocked transactions with the Greek banking system to avoid illegal activity of transactions.

Also the pre paid cards were never came in Greece and other European countries because Nintendo did not have official Nintendo representantive to that specific markets, for reasons only Nintendo can disclose.

I do undestand the decision Nintendo of Europe had to take to minimize the risk of their loses by senting products without getting immidiate payment without securing the getting payment because of the situation of capital controls in Greece which are still active.

But if you care about the specific market and you do bussiness with Nortec for more than 19 years and you know the economic background of this company is still healthy without any loans even on this big recession, it is illogical to let the only distributor of Nintendo in the country folder because of immidiate payments that is beyond sure that will be paid after the capital controls stopped.

Nintendo just showed that Greece do not interest them as a market, which again it works against their own interest.

Some poster above said something about the Ps3 was dominant in Greece even on the Wii years.

I don't know where you get your information but the Wii when it was active on the market from 2006-2012 was outselling the Ps3 3:1 here in Greece and the NDS was outselling the PSP 5:1.

So there is a big market for Nintendo products if Nintendo even cared to invest in the region for their own benefit. They even abandoned Turkey and Cyprus as potential markets before they even had the chance to sell their products there of a year at least.

But thats my personal opinion, I do not know what targets the NLC had set for NoE and it's distributors about their new machines the 3DS and the Wii U but it was their own stupid strategies that let the Wii U to wither on all markets and nearly killed the 3DS worldwide.

So asking a 3rd party distributor to get their products out of the fire which they already started it is dum beyond belief.

I undestand capitalism and how it works and Nintendo bussiness wise did all the right moves for short term profits and also stop their bleeding of lost profits with the 3DS and Wii U shortcomings but they paved an uncertain future of their products and their fans on this specific markets but also worldwide.

But from the looks of it they just do not care or think we are worth their time...

FYI I have a Greek website dedicated on Nintendo products that more than 6 members are working under me, this decision is affecting another part of this community as well because it would be more difficult for us to cover their products in the Greek market, so to put some perspective on the matter at hand before some people defend Nintendo's actions in smaller markets.
