Two brand new consoles arrived last month, and are off to phenomenal starts. Yet in spite of the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One launches, Nintendo’s own business “is doing just fine”.

Nintendo of America president Reggie Fils-Aime shared some terse but clear words when asked about Wii U and state of the company’s business.

He told The New York Times:

“Our business is doing just fine, thank you very much, despite the competitive launches.”

Reggie’s comment came about as part of a larger article regarding strong sales of the new consoles. However, the piece also covers the Wii U’s struggles.

DFC Intelligence analyst David Cole shared the following statement about Wii U:

“It has been really amazing how disappointing it has been. They clearly need to take a real hard look at themselves and what they did.”

None of Level-5’s Inazuma Eleven games have launched in North America. But that may be changing in the future, if a new trademark is any indication.

Level-5 registered a trademark for Inazuma Eleven in the US way back in January 2010. That filing has since expired, but a new trademark has popped up recently. The latest trademark is similar to the previous one, but with an additional provision for use with animated entertainment and online distribution.
