“If Nintendo is really committed to reaching a broader, more diverse audience of gamers beyond the ‘kids’ market that they’ve always engaged, there isn’t much new with the DSi to support that. Significant gamer demographic groups are being ignored, and there continues to be limited opportunities for games from external publishers to do well on the DSi. Compare that with the PSP platform, where we have many blockbuster franchises from our publishing partners launching this year, representing a wide variety of genres and targeting diverse demographics. Games such as Rock Band Unplugged from MTV Games, Assassin’s Creed from Ubisoft, Dissidia Final Fantasy from Square Enix, and Hannah Montana from Disney demonstrate the commitment that publishers have to the PSP. From our own first-party studios, we’re launching unique versions of LittleBigPlanet and MotorStorm, and we’re also planning a steady stream of downloadable games — both new titles and PSone classics — to add to the content that PSP owners can already purchase wirelessly through PlayStation Store.” – SCEA director of hardware marketing John Koller

Wait…So all of the adults who have purchased Professor Layton and Brain Age are actually just kids? And since when was Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars developed for children?

“Firstly, it might sound a bit corny, but we don’t use the word “success” when we talk about Nintendo’s market position. It implies an end point, a place where we can sit back and rest on our past and assume we will continue to do well in the future. The reality is that we don’t want this journey to end.

In 2009, we will work hard to keep our momentum going by continuing to introduce new games and experiences. One thing that seemed to make a lot of people happy was Mr. Iwata’s announcement at the Game Developer’s Conference that Wii owners now have the ability to increase the system’s storage space. Now you can save your downloaded WiiWare and Virtual Console games onto an SD card and access them when you need them. Gamers have been asking for this feature, and we are happy to provide a solution that makes sense for everyone.
