In light of the Nintendo Wii shortage, should the EU make laws that would force Nintento, Sony or Microsoft to supply a fair amount of consoles to Europe? Given that the consoles are always released in Europe last.
If the EU could pass this, all the European countries could enforce a total boycott on products by the company, which would certainly make them think twice about treating Europe unfairly, I mean after all, what has Europe done??

How can a country, or the EU for that matter force such a matter. A country or collection of countries doesn't have the power or right to do so.
Even if it did try (and given some of the very very odd decisions of the EU it could) then it would get bounced out at the next WTO meeting.
Examples of barking decision making from the EU is the ruling that grey importing is illegal.. that is the importing of products made by a specific company and sold outsdie the EU at a far cheaper price so that the retailer or wholesaler can import sell on to EU cusoitmers at that price is illegal... They have to go through the official importer at whatever price that importer feels like charging. Note thats note importing fakes or rip offs it importing genuine stock from the manufacturer and trying to apss on those savings to the EU customer
That means that Sony Europe can (and have) got a Hong Kong based compnay shut down becasue it had the nerve to sell Sony products at Far Eastern Prices undercutting Sony's profit margin in EU nations. its the same for Jeans & lots of other items.
Despite being a bigger marketplace than the US or Japan the EU is not one homogenous market, its a collections of relatively small markets, with different satndards to Japan and the USA, this is especailly important on consumer electronics and TV's.

I say the Wii, because of reality i believe Nintendo extra effective suitable than distinctive gaming employer, they have surprising video games, I actual have had no dramas with Nintendo, the controlling is surprising and there are diverse interest genres to compliment between. you additionally can purchase video games for older structures from the save Channel and play them on the Wii.

No, I don't think any country should have the right to tell a free market business how to operate and distribute products. Instead, why not create a new and better system and then compete?

Great idea. Give the lawyers more money & let Labour employ another army of pen pushers.

No, but it would be a great idea to add an extra tax on these things, say 35%.
