Iwata says no Wii successor anytime soon?
Update: You can check out Iwata’s direct-quote right here, as well as some comments about the 3DS.
Nintendo’s Satoru Iwata has apparently told The Yomiuri Shimbun that gamers shouldn’t expect a Wii successor anytime soon. Iwata pointed out that there are still seven million consoles sold in the United States each year and the console has yet to reach its limit. The Nintendo president mentioned that once developers begin to run out of ideas, it will be possible to start thinking about a new console.
Although an immediate console announcement is unlikely, perhaps Iwata will tease what’s on the horizon for Nintendo at his Game Developers presentation on Wednesday. His keynote is titled “Video Games Turn 25: A Historical Perspective and Vision for the Future”, after all!
