Contrary to popular belief, the act of counterfeiting is frowned upon. With very thick, frown weathered brows; That have frowned upon some of the best moments in history. Some say they have even pointed a finger once, whilst frowning. Looks like this time it's a 2.5 million dollar finger thrust from Nintendo's side at a Uruguayan counterfeiter, whomever that may be...
Let's just put it this way, taking someone else's ideas is a bad thing, and making fake wiimotes and other accesories is just the same. Making 30,000 wiimotes and other stuff and keeping them in a warehouse... thats just plain dumb.
How pissed is Nintendo? Well...
30,000 wiimotes x $40 each = $1,200,000 + $11.5 or something for the hour it took to pay the guy to release this info + an extra $1,299,988.5 for image damages.
Wow.
I wish I could sue anyone who ever slandered my buisness image for that much.
Anyway, I want to see Reggie beat this guy up personally at the E3 press conference while announcing Super Smash Bros. Brawl. That would just be badass.
He's gonna kick some serious counterfeitter butt.
Just give me my Galaxy already.
