Shigeru Miyamoto has been working very hard on Pikmin 3 in order to help boost the relatively slow sales on the Wii U, and he has a very clear idea on some of the things that went wrong so far and on how the situation might improve, as he explained in part of an interview on the Japanese website 4Gamer.

In a wide-ranging interview with Japanese publication 4Gamer, Shigeru Miyamoto discussed the Wii U’s struggles, delayed games, and more. An official English translation isn’t available, but DualShockers has translated a few bits.

Ubisoft senior vice president of marketing and sales Tony Key has addressed one of the company’s critical brands: Prince of Persia.

There hasn’t been a brand new entry in the series since 2010’s Forgotten Sands, and that likely won’t be changing anytime soon given the lack of announcements. But Key wishes to assure fans that Prince of Persia maintains “a really strong legacy with Ubisoft”. For now, Key hopes that people can be patient.

He said:

“Prince of Persia, it’s got a really strong legacy with Ubisoft and it’s still there. We have nothing to announce, but, you know, we haven’t sold it off or given it away, so be patient. I know that’s hard!”
