Nintendo Failed To Conquer Russia ?

According to this news Nintendo failed to conquer Russia despite ruling every other territory they launched in.
Inna Bukatina GFI's head of international licensing and acquisition list the reasons:
- "Firstly people in Russia prefer products that are more universal, that can be used for a number of different purposes...But the Wii is only for games, and for very specific kinds of games...
- The gaming society in Russia is pretty young...
- I know that in other parts of Europe, older age ranges are playing these games, but in Russia they don't know what to do with it ...
- There is a lot of piracy there too, and it's of course much more expensive than the GameBoy..."
