“We are confident the Wii home entertainment console has a very long life in front of it.” – Reggie Fils-Aime

With the Wii selling the way it is, it wouldn’t make sense for Nintendo to release a successor to the console in the near future. The only possibility I can see happening is something like Wii HD, but Reggie essentially shot down that possibility a few months ago. But, who knows. Perhaps Nintendo will surprise us all and announce something at this year’s E3.

“With such a strong install base it’s hard to believe that there’s not enough people to appreciate mature, core content. It’s all about games and quality. I’m not surprised that another shooter on rails doesn’t sell well. You don’t need to be a rocket scientist to figure out that people expect something more than that..I bet No More Heroes 2 will do pretty good, as well as the new Metroid and Capcom’s Monster Hunter. I hope that Last Flight will be successful and that’s because we’re making a game that was thought out as a Wii game. Instead of bitching, we’d rather create something that has value and doesn’t feel like a third-rate port put together to make a quick buck.

Was it the right decision to develop a game on Wii? Should we make it less violent? Are we gonna sell enough copies to pay our bills? You know, typical questions, nothing unusual here. And while we love and respect Capcom and Pachter, we wouldn’t go that far and say that mature stuff doesn’t sell or that it’s the platform holder’s fault. Our logic is far simpler: if the game doesn’t sell, we did something wrong.” – executive producer Marcin Kawa

I personally don’t believe that a high-quality Wii title will always sales, but it definitely has some sort of impact. It’ll be interesting to see how Bloober’s upcoming WiiWare title, Last Flight, performs after hearing these remarks. According to Kawa, if it doesn’t sell, then the company did something wrong with the title.

MOVIES, TV EPISODES STREAMED INSTANTLY FROM NETFLIX HEADED TO NINTENDO’S WII CONSOLE THIS SPRING

Millions of U.S. Wii Owners Will Have the Opportunity to Access the World’s Largest Online Movie Rental Service

REDMOND, Wash., and LOS GATOS, Calif., Jan. 13, 2010 – Nintendo of America Inc. and Netflix, Inc. [Nasdaq: NFLX] today announced an agreement that will allow Netflix members who are also owners of Nintendo’s Wii™ home console to instantly watch thousands of movies and TV episodes streamed from Netflix directly to their TVs. Netflix is scheduled to go live on the Wii console this spring in the United States at no additional cost to Netflix members who have a plan starting at $8.99 a month, a Wii console and a broadband Internet connection.

The partnership between the two companies will extend the reach of content streamed from Netflix farther than ever before, thanks to the mainstream popularity of the Wii console. Wii remains the fastest-selling home console in history, and reaches more consumers than any other device that currently supports streaming movies from Netflix.

Wii is the top-selling home video game system of this generation, and as such brings the Netflix experience to a broad and diverse mass market.
