Challenge For Next-Gen Wii Is To Make It "Unique"

 

The 3DS isn’t the only thing that Nintendo is thinking about, the company has also been looking for a Wii replacement. Their focus seems to be not so much on the very latest hardware but how the company could make the next generation Wii console distinctive compared to their rivals. According to Nintendo designer Shigeru Miyamoto, “In the next generation of hardware, the challenge is how unique and different a product Nintendo is able to make,” pointing out to Games TM magazine that “technology is available to all equally today.”

That equality of access means that it’s not enough to simply throw together the best components currently available on the shelf, but “how we decide to make use of that technology and in what format is what will make our hardware unique in comparison to the hardware from other manufacturers.” Miyamoto declined to comment on speculation that Nintendo is planning on a “Wii HD” or “Wii 2”, or even a brand new console.
