Japanese government asking video game manufacturers

Latest comment: 1 year ago1 comment1 person in discussion

The page includes "Nintendo's initial shipment of 300,000 units sold out within hours, and the resulting social disturbance led the Japanese government to ask video game manufacturers to schedule future console releases on weekends." which does have a citation, for "The Ultimate History of Video Games", but after looking for some time I can't seem to find another source for this.

Checking the Japanese version of this article has no mention of such a thing, and some basic searches in Japansese, don't seem to find anything of the sort. The book seems to have some criticism for lack of research on some facts before, but do we have any other citations for this? IcePage (talk) 01:51, 2 June 2025 (UTC)Reply
