Nintendo believes it can keep up with the competition
Wii U sales haven’t been up to snuff these past few months, but Nintendo doesn’t sound concerned. Senior communications director Charlie Scibetta believes that the system’s games will lead to increased momentum.
GameSpot asked Scibetta if Nintendo stands to see a difficult holiday season against the likes of the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One. To this, he said: “the short answer is no.”
“If you’re a consumer going in and you have these options; we know what the price points are now from the competitors, we know what the games are from the competitors; and we know now what the Wii U is going to offer. We feel good about where we stack up. It’s the software that’s going to motivate them.”
“We saw with the Nintendo 3DS, it got off to a slow start, but then when software started rolling in, sales have done really well.”
