Et av de heteste diskusjonstemaene i spillverdenen akkurat nå er den om DRM og hvorvidt bruktspillhandelen er en trussel mot spillindustrien. Nintendo of America-sjefen Reggie Fils-Aimes' løsning er enkel: Lag spill som folk ønsker å beholde.
I en samtale med Polygon fortalte han at bruktspillsyklusen ikke påvirker Nintendo i noen nevneverdig grad.
- That impacts games that are annualized and candidly also impacts games that are maybe undifferentiated much more than [it] impacts Nintendo content.
Why is that? Because the replayability of our content is super strong. The consumer wants to keep playing Mario Kart. The consumer want to keep playing New Super Mario Bros. They want to keep playing Pikmin. So we see that the trade-in frequency on Nintendo content is much less than the industry average - much, much less.
So for us, we have been able to step back and say that we are not taking any technological means to impact trade-in and we are confident that if we build great content, then the consumer will not want to trade in our games.
Det er også verdt å notere seg at Reggie ikke hadde merket noen dårlig stemning mot brukte spill blant utgiverne bak scenen.
- We will see what happens with publishers, but it seems to me that every major publisher has come and said we don't mind used games.
Vi trenger altså ikke bekymre oss for noen bruktspillsperrer fra Nintendo på en god stund.
