"With this, for example, the ease of using a video game system when the hardware is shared by multiple family members, which has been a challenge we needed to tackle, shall be improved, and we will also be able to construct and offer the system by combining a variety of different services and content."

That's a lot of words without really saying anything.


I interpret it more like this; "In other words, we are making a system that is exactly like the one you've found on the HD consoles since they launched."

I'm very happy that Nintendo have finally come aound to the idea of being flexible on online solutions and interface and that they don't shy away from more mainstream tech simply to set themselves apart, especially when implementing that tech makes a lot of sense in a broader perspective (formats, online functionality, media functionality, storage, accounts etc).

Hopefully Nintendo implements it better than Microsoft did with the XBox ...

While it doesn't impact me directly, having witnessed how clumsy switching profiles is at my brother's house (when he realized he was signed in under my nephew's profile), it is fairly clear that multiple profiles per XBox was an afterthought for Microsoft.
