Nintendo President: NX is Different From the Wii and Wii U, Offers a New Experience

4th December, 0 replies

Nintendo president Tatsumi Kimishima has told Time that the company's next video game console, codenamed the NX, will be unique compared to the Wii and Wii U.

"[The NX is the] next step in our dedicated device strategy, the core and primary focus of our business," said Kimishima.

"As far as NX goes, I’ve said it’s different and obviously a new experience," he added. "If you look back to the beginning of our conversation today, we talked about the transition from Wii hardware to the Wii U hardware and how difficult it is to explain to the consumer base what is different and new about the new hardware. It’s difficult to convince them to switch from their current platform to the next platform."

"That being said, I can assure you we’re not building the next version of Wii or Wii U. It’s something unique and different. It’s something where we have to move away from those platforms in order to make it something that will appeal to our consumer base."

A recent report claimed that component suppliers for the NX expect shipments for the platform to be between 10 million and 12 million units in 2016.
