This information comes from Nintendo of America president Reggie Fils-Aime…

“For us, that is not part of our vision. We believe that the GamePad is an integral part of Wii U.”

“During this week, we’re going to be showcasing other ways for utilizing the GamePad, and this has been a priority for Mr. Miyamoto. He, himself, has dedicated a lot of his personal energy to showing what can be done with the GamePad to really bring it to life. We’re committed to it. We believe that it is a key innovation that, otherwise, all you’re doing is making prettier pictures and using faster processors, and not bringing a lot of uniqueness in terms of gameplay.”

Two brand new consoles arrived last month, and are off to phenomenal starts. Yet in spite of the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One launches, Nintendo’s own business “is doing just fine”.

Nintendo of America president Reggie Fils-Aime shared some terse but clear words when asked about Wii U and state of the company’s business.

He told The New York Times:

“Our business is doing just fine, thank you very much, despite the competitive launches.”

Reggie’s comment came about as part of a larger article regarding strong sales of the new consoles. However, the piece also covers the Wii U’s struggles.

DFC Intelligence analyst David Cole shared the following statement about Wii U:

“It has been really amazing how disappointing it has been. They clearly need to take a real hard look at themselves and what they did.”
