Nintendo plugs in NY concept store

Nintendo has made its first move into retail with the launch of a concept store in New York’s Rockefeller Center last weekend. Designed in-house, the two-floor store offers 920m2 of retail space, and features interactive systems based around the company’s games console products, including Nintendo DS and GameCube.

Meanwhile, rival console manufacturer Sony has unveiled the design of its next-generation PlayStation 3 console, ahead of the E3 gaming expo, which runs from 18-20 May in Los Angeles.
