If you're holding off on purchasing a Wii or DS in preparation for Nintendo unveiling some magical new console or handheld system next year that replaces both, think again. They're content with both for the near future.
Speaking with Reuters, Nintendo of America President Reggie Fils-Aime said that, "We will consider the launch of new consoles when we have got great new entertaining ideas that can only be done with a new console. As we sit here today the Wii console has a long run ahead of it, (the DS too). At some point we will launch the DSi here in the Americas. So as we look at the near term for us it's all about maximizing the opportunity with the (Wii and DS)." Lest you think "maximizing opportunity with the Wii and DS" is business code for "price cuts," Fils-Aime also mentioned that they don't plan on changing the price on either system at this point. Curses. |
