"Iwata explained, it decided not to flood the 3DS's early release slate with casual games ... It intends to take a similar approach with the Wii U when it launches later this year."

So the Wii U will be a red ocean product?

Yes. The mission statement is to compete over the existing pool of gamers, not to expand gaming.

Well I don't believe that this is going to be good to the game market.

A core Nintendo cosole can prevent Nintendo fans from buying another consoles, while the lack of Wii games (Wii Fit, Wii Spots, etc) can make Wii owners become former gamers.

Both possibilities can have a bad impact the number consoles sold durring the next generation.

I wonder what Malstrom will write about it.
