Na de eerste kennismaking met de Nintendo Wii U bleven veel gamers verbaasd achter. In plaats van vragen te beantwoorden leken er alleen maar meer bijgekomen te zijn en vandaag geeft Nintendo hier een bevestiging van.
Gedurende een bijeenkomst met investeerders heeft Nintendo President Satoru Iwata laten weten zich verantwoordelijk te voelen voor de slechte uitleg van de console aan consumenten. Onderstaand de complete uitleg zoals hij deze gaf:
quote:
Regarding Wii U, the release intervals of first-party key titles have been so much longer than we expected at the Corporate Management Policy Briefing in January that we have not successfully maintained the momentum of the platform. In addition, we have not been able to solidly communicate the product value of Wii U to our consumers yet, which has been a grand challenge for us.
Some have the misunderstanding that Wii U is just Wii with a pad for games, and others even consider Wii U GamePad as a peripheral device connectable to Wii. We feel deeply responsible for not having tried hard enough to have consumers understand the product.
Wii U might still have no such captivating game title as “Wii Sports” for Wii, with which people immediately comprehended its product value, but it surely has a lot of factors appreciated by users. We would like to take time to work thoroughly for its penetration, by making various efforts to have many people understand its product value as well as enriching the software lineup.
