Former Nintendo of America boss cut off Amazon's supply of Wii and DS consoles due to "obscene" demands: "I wasn't going to do something illegal"
Former Nintendo of America president Reggie Fils-Aimé revealed that Nintendo stopped selling Wii and Nintendo DS consoles on Amazon due to the retailer's "obscene" demands for financial support to undercut Walmart. Fils-Aimé refused the illegal request, prioritizing legal business practices and relationships with other retailers. The companies later reconciled, with Amazon supporting the Nintendo Switch launch.
