I et intervju Reggie Fils-Aime på Forbes forklarer Nintendo-sjefen hvorfor du bør velge en Wii U til jul. Han forteller også hvordan tredjepartsutviklerne og utgiverne fortsetter å levere på konsollen.
Han nevner blant annet elefanten i rommet, Activision, som antageligvis ikke er særlig imponert etter at kun én prosent av alle solgte Call of Duty: Ghosts-eksemplarer den første måneden var til Wii U. Til sammenligning ble 62 prosent solgt til Xbox 360.
"With a healthy and vibrant installed base, those key publishers are gonna create content that are going to be wonderful for the system. Case in point: Activision. One of the number one rated games [recently] on the Wii U is Skylander SWAP Force. They've done a stellar job creating that content. And absolutely we look forward to Call of Duty coming on the platform. A true Call of Duty experience, leveraging unique play with the GamePad.
You look at someone like Ubisoft. They do tremendous business with Just Dance on our platform. And we look forward to Assassin's Creed, we look forward to Watchdogs next year coming on the platform. Warner Brothers... I could go through the list in terms of key software publishers that are making great content for the platform. And what they tell me every day is, "Reggie, how can I help you drive your installed base?"
