These days, it’s not too surprising when another accomplishment is reported. Nonetheless, it is worth mentioning that the Wii managed to reach yet another milestone in Japan. According to Enterbrain, the Wii has sold over seven million Wii units in the country. Well, 7,024,239 to be exact. This is definitely something to be proud of if you work for Nintendo, but at the same time, Wii sales are beginning to slow down a bit. However, with upcoming titles such as Wii Sports Resort, it isn’t likely that sales will drop dramatically.
This isn’t the first time that Greenpeace has had an issue with Nintendo. Today, Greenpeace has strongly criticized Nintendo for their “incredibly poor standard of communication.”
“Nintendo are not engaging at all,” said Iza Kruszewska, toxics campaigner for Greenpeace. “I have spoken to Nintendo’s sales people in the UK, and even they admit that Nintendo isn’t communicating enough, not just externally but internally, apparently…We’re in continuous dialogue with all the companies we speak to, apart from Nintendo. I’ve never been able to get an answer from them aside from a couple of marketing people in the UK who have been trying to forward the messages to global headquarters in Japan, but we get no response from Nintendo. The company has an incredibly poor standard of communication regarding this issue.”
And of course, Greenpeace still does not believe Nintendo is environmentally friendly, either. Kruszewska added, “What really struck me was Nintendo’s response when we asked them about this. They said that their products don’t create waste because… people hang onto them! It’s a very inadequate response, and I’m surprised a serious company like Nintendo would even respond that way.”

“We are using grey but the racetrack logo can be represented in a number of different colours. You’ll often see it in black, white, silver or grey…[The gray logo is benig used] for the time being…This has been the case [black logo for DS packaging, gray for Wii packaging) on both hardware formats since their releases.” – Nintendo statement
I prefer the red logo, simply because it’s a classic representation of Nintendo. What do you guys think?
