Japanese videogame giant Nintendo will be sanctioned by the
European Commission over violation of EU anti-trust legislation,
the Wall Street Journal reports. The Commission has apparently
found that Nintendo was preventing sales of consoles and games from
one EU Member State to another to keep prices higher.
According to the Wall Street Journal, which cites an unnamed
source at Nintendo's US unit, the company is expecting a fine to be
announced by the Commission within the next 10 days, and has
already put an "adequate" amount of money into reserve for that
purpose.
Nintendo has reportedly already changed its European
distribution arrangements to comply with EU laws.
