Knowing that Project Natal is on the way for the Xbox 360 and that the hardware of the console is more powerful than the Wii, one would think that Nintendo would be just a little bit concerned about the future. But according to Denise Kaigler, V.P. Corporate Affairs for Nintendo of America, the company is not at all worried that Microsoft could chip away at the Wii’s market share.
“No [not concerned]. It doesn’t get more simple than that, right? The consumer decides. Nintendo doesn’t decide, the other guys don’t decide, it’s the consumer who decides and we’re so thankful and appreciative that consumers have selected and decided to choose our products. We got here because consumers put us here. We’re going to stay here because we hope that and we’re certainly going to work very hard giving consumers a reason to put us here. If we take our eye off the ball, if we stop making games that appeal to both the core and the casuals alike, then we will relinquish our spot. But we have no plans to do that. We have no plans to stop giving consumers what they have long expected and what they continue to want from Nintendo.”
