Stocka Posted December 8, 2005 Share Posted December 8, 2005 Reggie Fils-Aime, Nintendo of America CMO, spoke to an audience of investors at a recent UBS conference. The Reginator discussed Nintendo’s strategy of marketing their next-gen console to more casual gamers. Here were some key points covered in his presentation: Iwata was quoted in the presentation as saying: “If we cannot expand the market, all we can do is wait for the industry to slowly die.†Nintendogs has sold nearly one million copies in the US alone, more than half of the buyers were said to be female. The presentation featured the following comment by publisher, EA in regards to the Revolution: â€It’s a brilliant controller, and as usual we can credit Nintendo with being innovative and neat and fresh and fun. They continue to pioneer in our industry…they make some of the best games in the industry…and we look forward to partnering with them.†According to Nintendo, the DS is outselling the PSP in both Japan and the U.S., with total sales of the systems reaching around 6 million for DS, versus 4.26 million for the PSP.

MunKy Posted December 9, 2005 Share Posted December 9, 2005 Well at least Rev will have FIFA and poor sequals to poor racing games and hundreds of shoddy movie tie-ins! If Nintendo want to revolutionise the industry they should buy out EA and force them to make proper games. Or just Peter Molyneux so I dont have to feel guilty about giving EA money when I buy his games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
