DurIng a shareholder meetIng In Kyoto In Japan today, the PresIdent of NIntendo was bombarded wIth questIons regardIng the uptake of the WII U when It Is released and many Investors have noted concerns about the 3DS and Its performance at retaIl when It was launched. The presIdent spoke out about the problems sayIng that although he acknowledges that the 3DS has a low software output for the launch, NIntendo Is hopIng to avoId thIs sItuatIon wIth the WII U.
The presIdent also saId that the WII U would not be rejected by hardcore audIences In the same way that the WII was and he saId that the reason that thIs was the case wIth the WII was because gamers dIdn’t want to abandon theIr usual method of control wIth the games.
