NIS America finds Wii U interesting, not planning more 3DS titles currently, finds market to be poor

Haru Akenga, President of NIS America, has provided some commentary about the Wii U and 3DS.
First, Akenga was asked about Wii U:
“That’s interesting. It’s an interesting system. Unfortunately, we didn’t have any information about Wii U until the morning of the press conference. Maybe, we’re going to think about it, moving forward. At this moment, we have no plans to develop for the platform.”
Akenga was then asked if NIS America is planning on releasing additional 3DS titles. Akenga said:
“Not right now. Do you think we should? The market is not great now.”
Well, I can’t exactly say he’s wrong about the 3DS sales situation right now. Sales of the system haven’t been up to snuff just yet and games aren’t lighting the sales charts on fire. Then again, there haven’t been a whole lot of high-quality releases for the portable. Will things change with Zelda: Ocarina of Time 3D (we’ve seen Japan sales, though NPD data won’t be available for a couple of weeks)? And how will third-parties fair in the future? These are just a couple of questions I personally have in mind.
