Many of you are probably thinking that the successor of the Wii would be crazy, but not now. Iwata though doesn’t work like that, and is open to discussing the next generation of games for Nintendo.
“We are always preparing for the next hardware,” Iwata says. “We are under development. … But the hardware is a kind of box that consumers reluctantly buy in order to play our games.”
In other words, until Nintendo Wii sales run dry and developers have squeezed most of the possibility out of the Wii, we will then see the next console. The dilemma Nintendo has now is that it will be hard to outdo what they did with the Wii.
“Every hardware needs some revolutionary features,” Iwata says. “This time around, it happened to be we had a revolutionary user interface. Will it be the same for the next generation? I really can’t tell.
“It’s natural for the current customer to expect Nintendo is going to once again do something different,” he continues. “If the people are expecting so many different things from Nintendo, it’s going to be difficult for us to go beyond that expectation again.”
This is huge news and this just makes me jittery about what Nintendo’s next move will be to change the gaming industry once again.
