MCV went out of their way to clear up the cloud of smoke around whether the (codenamed) Revolution will release in a global fashion or not. A Nintendo spokesperson told them: “The comments [Iwata made] have been taken out of context. What he’s actually saying is that we’re not holding a worldwide launch just because everyone else is doing one too. It’s just another re-iteration of the fact that we’re not looking at what Sony or Microsoft are doing. Unfortunately, it seems everyone’s jumped on it and got the wrong idea.”
One brilliant Infendo commentor hit this right on the money: Rollin said… “Another Iwata quote taken out of context.”
