Yep..... or something. Plus Zelda is half complete

 

“I don't think the Wii is something that people need to graduate from. Of course, I am happy that motion is fashionable now. But when we make games, we are not trying to produce trendy products. It needs to be an experience that's meaningful, and the motion control needs to add something. So our new Zelda game takes motion control and adds something to the game to make you feel like you're part of the adventure. I think our rivals need to find what it is they have to offer that’s new." - Shigeru Miyamoto

- The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword is “over half complete”

- “What we are focused on is creating gameplay mechanics so the gameplay experience feels very dense. In fact, the overall experience is going to feel more dense. We hope that people will want to go back and replay the game once they finish it”.
- “On the software side we are seeing stable sales, and Mario Kart is still selling at a steady pace. There's still a lot of games we can create for it, and our audience is expanding. Nintendo doesn't think so much about competition as about creating new video game experiences, trying to do things differently. The other thing we focus on is trying to deliver our interactive entertainment to as broad an audience as possible."

As much as I love you Miyamoto, Nintendo did create something that was trendy and fashionable. Sony and Microsoft saw it as a sales incentive to pick up the value of their brand a not only added motion controls but expanded the idea of the motion control area of gaming. Nintendo needs to understand that with Microsoft and Sony the tech battle is a lost one ( based on their mentality), but where creativity is concerned they'll always win. Imho Nintendo is a brand to graduate from. I graduated from it and millions of others are. I cannot speak for everyone though so meh.
