Iwata: 3DS sales momentum overseas is “not so good”
Posted on 12 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, DS, News, Wii, Wii U | 0 comments
Overall, 3DS sales have improved since the system’s initial launch. It is, however, still struggling a bit overseas.
Nintendo president Satoru Iwata told investors at a meeting last week that 3DS sales have stabilized in Japan and have some momentum. But in the U.S. and Europe, “the sales pace went down after the beginning of 2012.” Iwata believes the 3DS XL and New Super Mario Bros. 2 can improve the situation.
Iwata also commented on how “one of the difficulties Nintendo is facing in terms of spreading the Nintendo 3DS is the difference of the mainstream products between Japan, where the handheld video games are the main products, and the U.S., where the home console video games are the main ones.”
Read on below for his full response.
No value-added 3DS models planned for now
Posted on 12 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, DS, News | 0 comments
Don’t count on a waterproof 3DS or a system with a high quality sound anytime soon. Nintendo president Satoru Iwata has said that the company has no plans to introduce value-added models in the near future.
Iwata told investors recently that introducing too many 3DS models could make consumers unsure about which product they should purchase. He compared the situation to cell phones, of which there are “too many options”. Iwata wouldn’t rule anything out for the long-term future, however.
Nintendo only introduced the 3DS XL due to requests for a larger screen. Iwata noted that the DSi XL was well-received when it was released.
Iwata discusses Nintendo’s non-subscription online approach for Wii U
Posted on 12 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News, Wii U | 0 comments
News recently made it out that Nintendo expressed doubt in charging consumers for Wii U’s online service. President Satoru Iwata had told investors that it wouldn’t be the smartest approach to go down a subscription path due to the company’s wide range of players.
Subscription fees are out of the question for now, but Iwata feels that business can be increased through Miiverse. Players will be able to exchange messages, and the service will allow for quite a bit of communication overall, so some consumers may be inclined to try out additional games.
A more in-depth explanation of Iwata’s thoughts can be found below.
