Iwata at GDC

– Iwata’s speech caused a bit of controversy because some people thought he was putting down social/mobile gaming
– Iwata’s message was more about making your game matter regardless of the platform you’re developing for
– Nintendo is worried about the throwaway games you buy for a dollar or two, or even $40 that are worth nothing
– Iwata said the industry is at risk due to the glut of mobile games coming out that aren’t of high-quality

Hideki Konno on the 3DS reaction in Japan…

“I actually left the day after it went on sale in Japan, so I haven’t actually go to hear any of that direct feedback yet. But I do have my own personal Nintendo 3DS, and from my house to the airport I turned on Streetpass, and the day after launch I got four hits or so. So there are already people out there using that function. I’ve looked at a couple things on the web, but I haven’t had the chance to sit down and thoroughly search for information, and I haven’t heard any direct consumer feedback from actual people yet.”

Konno on Sony’s NGP…

“It’s a bit difficult in terms of comparing the two systems. I think that our goal when we set about making this for our customers for us it’s to surprise them and create these new unique experiences. I don’t know that our goals are the same for one thing. As far as from a user’s perspective, I love these digital gadgets, so when the NGP goes on sale I’m sure I’ll take a look at it and see what software is available for it and what the system can do. Whether or not Sony or Nintendo through the launches of these two different hardware systems are trying to achieve the same goal that’s something that I don’t know. It’s difficult to speak to what they’re trying to do.”
