This is an piece from Nintendo of America's Annual Report that I found yesterday on www.nintendo.com/corp....makes interesting reading...
"Most believe that the future can be best seen through technology. This is understandable, as video game images displayed on the television screen have improved dramatically overthe last 20 years. And they'll continue to improve. In fact, in the not too distant future, developers will be able to generate any image they want, as real as life, or as fanciful as they imagine. But once we reach that point, technology will become unimportant.
We will be like the movie industry, or TV, where every director works with 35mm film or the same type of studio cameras. When all technology is equal, it ceases to be a point of differentiation. It is the content and the story that the recipient experiences that gives the producer [of the game] success and longevity."
Does this view mean that Nintendo feel that there will be a 'VHS' of gaming consoles in the future, with the difference between companies being in the games? And if so does this explain Satoru Iwata's recent comments about moving more towards software rather than hardware? And do you think that advancing the technology will really become 'unimportant' for Nintendo in the future?
Is Shigsy dreaming of electric sheep?????

He never said That the wouldnt produce another console its just that the cube is expected to last about 5-7 years yet so they now can consentrait on the games and what games to ;0). I have no doubt that Cube" will make its way in a few years time the trouble with consoles it technology is always behind cause it takes so long to produce.
