Iwata clarifies DS successor comments, says Wii HD isn’t coming, talks future hardware
Iwata on the Asahi confusion…
Iwata says the question was: “The next DS will need to have high resolution graphics and include a motion sensor, wouldn’t you say?”
And his response was…“Those are naturally considered requirements. However, do you believe it will sell with just this?”
Iwata on Wii HD…
“If asked if making the Wii compatible with high definition — just making it compatible with high resolution — will get players throughout the world to buy it, I would of course say, ‘Do you think it would sell with just that? Let’s put something new in it.”
Iwata on future hardware…
“If there were no rival makers in the world, I’d could give examples of the things that we are considering. However, for competitive reasons, I cannot give specifics today on the what or when of the things we’re considering.”
