Nintendo keeping quiet on Wii U details
Posted on October 30, 2011 by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U
To no one’s surprise, Nintendo president Satoru Iwata kept quiet when pressed on Wii U questions during a Q&A session with investors on Friday. Iwata wouldn’t discuss the console’s price point, whether or not the company will sell it at a loss, and other information about the system.
Iwata did, however, clarify a statement made earlier regarding mistakes made with the 3DS. You might remember this quote during Nintendo’s financial briefing presentation: “As we learned a bitter lesson with the launch of the Nintendo 3DS, we are trying to take every possible measure so that the Wii U will have a successful launch.”
Iwata explained that Nintendo learned quite a few lessons with the issues the 3DS faced and hope to avoid them for the launch of Wii U. He declined to go into detail because he felt that doing so would be pointless for the most part and his statements would be picked up by the press. Iwata simply said that Nintendo is working on a number of areas that the company believes need to be addressed.
Thanks to 4Him for the tip!
