Nintendo of America boss Reggie Fils-Aime has told gamers that the successor to the Wii will be mainstream but not to expect it any time soon.
Fils-Aime said the timing of the next console launch would depend on Shigeru Miyamoto. "When Mr. Miyamoto goes to Mr. Iwata and says. 'I have this great idea and I can't do it on the Wii,' that's when there will be a next generation console," Fils-Aime told Kotaku.. "What that includes we'll see.
"I think Mr. Miyamoto himself has said that he is very interested in a high-definition experience, but to be 120 percent crystal clear, HD by itself in our view is not enough to go for a new console past the Wii.
While not giving away any details, Fils-Aime said that the next console would follow the same business model that has served Nintendo so well with Wii and DS.
"It will be mainstream. It will be encouraging more and more consumers to get into this category that we love. It will provide new, unique, compelling experiences that are meaningful to that large potential consumer base. Those are the principles that drive us."
