Yes everyone. I forgot. The Wii "IS" perfect. There is nothing else consumers want out of it.

Despite having shipped over a million units to Japan last year, Iwata isn't celebrating the Wii's success just yet. "Any system will sell well following launch," said the Nintendo president, "but there will definitely come a time where it will stop selling. Even the DS hit a rough spell after selling 1.5 million units a month after launch. The flame was really lit a year after launch, after Nintendogs and Brain Age became big hits. With the Wii, we have to make good software just as we did with the DS."

Finally, the site made a comment suggesting that Nintendo would from this year on be the industry leader, with others chasing from behind. "That's not the case," replied Iwata. "So long as we continue the fight against the lack of interest in games from the general consumer, Nintendo will always be the challenger. For example, one challenge is in developing software that keeps people from saying they're no longer interested in swinging the Wiimote."

Iwata reflects on Wii's worldwide acceptance and what that means for the Nintendo's attitude going forward. "[Wii's success is] a good start. It's been a good start, but it's only the beginning," he said. "We want to have the customers continue playing. We want to continue coming up with new proposals to them, and have them keep playing. Only then can we say that we've accomplished our goals." Iwata addresses one of the key criticisms of the Wii: longevity. "We need to see if our new approaches will grab the customer's hearts, if they will keep on playing our games," he concedes.

Iwata disagrees.

Despite all the non-pure gaming features Ps3 and 360 have, I don't care they still do the gaming side the best anyway.

Agreed. I buy consoles so I don't have to upgrade PC every 1-2 years. As long as I don't have to upgrade the videocard in my 360 I couldn't care less about installing, cashing or non-gaming features.
