Nintendo is both a hardware manufacture and software producer. Some say that the Big N should simply drop the hardware-side of things, but Nintendo of America senior director of corporate communications Charlie Scibetta says that the company’s titles are best suited on its own consoles because its “hardware is the best way to bring software to life.”
“Nintendo systems come to life the best when the hardware and software work in perfect harmony. That’s why we’re still in the hardware business, because we think our hardware is the best way to bring software to life.”
“It’s tuned perfectly for that. When Mario bounces from mushroom to mushroom, it feels so responsive because the software has been tuned especially for that hardware.”
Activision wants Nintendo to be successful when it comes to Wii U

Activision wants Nintendo to do well. Speaking with GamesIndustry, Activision Publishing boss Eric Hirshberg said that the company has “a vested interest in making them successful.”
Hirshberg’s comments came in response to a question about Activision’s support in light of struggling Wii U sales.
He responded:
“I don’t think we’re slower to move (on new platforms); we’re a very choiceful company. We’re very choiceful in the number of titles we make. We scrutinize opportunities very carefully, and when we go into them we go big. And I think that’s been part of the formula for our success. We were there with a lot support for the Wii U at launch with a Call of Duty game, with a Skylanders game and with several other titles. We want to see Nintendo be successful and we want to do anything we can to help them be successful. Obviously the Wii U is struggling – that’s not a secret, I don’t think there’s any other way to read the narrative right now – but they’re a really good company and they’ve got some incredible IP that has yet to come, that they honed for that platform. We have a vested interest in making them successful.”
