Shigeru Miyamoto on the sales of the 3DS…
“We’ve had a very good start with the 3DS, but it’s not completely widespread yet. One of our pet peeves is how do you convey the message? Because one has to play the 3DS to experience the 3D. I guess it depends on you guys!”
Miyamoto on games for the 3DS…
“We spent a lot of time developing 3DS, whether its games or other software. But from now we will be focussing more on gaming, we want to release lots of games this year.”
Miyamoto on Ocarina of Time 3D…
“After 13 years, there will be the children of today who haven’t experienced Ocarina of Time, it’s brand new for them. But for fans of the original, it’s a very faithful adaption.”

Reggie on Wii price drop, reason to purchase a Wii with Project Cafe coming, slipping Wii sales
Posted on 13 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii, Wii U | 0 comments
Reggie Fils-Aime discussing the Wii price drop…
“For us this is a very important move. This is only the second price reduction for Wii hardware since we launched back in November 2006. And in the last home console cycle, the leading system at the time sold almost 50 percent of its volume at a price point of $149 or below.”
Reggie on why consumers would purchase a Wii with Project Cafe on the horizon…
“When we launch our new home system sometime in 2012 we think the consumer buying in will look very different than the consumer who’s going to be buying a Wii now. What we’ve seen in this business it that there are certain consumers who love being first – they have to have the absolute latest hardware – and there are other consumers that are perfectly happy to wait until the game library is much more robust and they have a wider range of options.”
Reggie on slipping Wii sales…
“Typically a system peaks in the second year of availability and then gradually declines. Wii was fortunate to have a number of very strong selling years in its 3rd and 4th year of availability. And from our perspective, the curve that we’re on is natural and to be expected but importantly, the sales curve is higher than any other system.”
Reggie’s thoughts on why May 15 is the perfect timing for the Wii price drop…
“There are a lot of households where kids will be off from school and the parents are either looking for celebratory presents as the children finish the school year or they’re looking for a fun exercise to keep the kids busy and happy during the summer time frame. We think there is a wide range of consumers that are wanting to purchase a Wii and what they have been waiting for is this type of announcement.”
