Iwata’s response to an opinion that people will expect less from home consoles in the future…
“The question was if the value (created by home consoles) or ‘the rich experiences which could be realized only by home console video game systems’ have changed. Until recently, it was true that the focus had been placed significantly on the ‘rich experiences’ which were available because of such advantages as it could use the home electricity and, accordingly, home consoles have less restrictions in terms of power consumption, unlike portable devices which require batteries to operate, and that large and dynamic graphics can be created for the large monitor screens. But are these ‘rich experiences’ the only unique characteristics which could be realized solely by home console video games in the first place?
If such ‘rich experiences’ were actually the only uniqueness, home consoles would lose their meaning when battery-operated portable devices become capable of reproducing similar rich experiences. On the contrary, and this is something which started to be discussed when Wii made its debut in 2006, bigger screen TVs were entering our living rooms around that time, which enabled people to use their living rooms for a more broad range of purposes. More specifically, living rooms had morphed into play areas where people could move their bodies. This is one of the unique entertainment features that home console systems, not handheld devices, were able to realize.
