Iwata Admits the Obvious, Nintendo Land is not Wii Sports

I really don't see the big deal with off-TV play either. I mean it's tethered to the console, meaning in most homes you'd can't go into a different room to use it. So if you're using it, why play on a low-res, blurry 5-inch screen when you have a nice high resolution big TV to play on in the same room.

And as much as Nintendo tries to sell the whole "you can play on the controller while the family watches TV!", it's kinda rude to be in a room of people totally disconnected from what they're watching/doing while your face is buried in a game handheld, lol. I just find it to be pretty impractical.

And most US households have multiple TVs, so having to "share" one TV isn't really some big dilemma. I think the whole console concept was made more for Japan, but it's actually probably selling worse in Japan than anywhere else, Japan is all about true handhelds now.

I can take it through most of my 2 story house. Also the screen is very good looking and not blury at all, I do not know what you were looking at. additionally, the best part of the off tv play is anybody can be using the TV and I can still play games or my kids to still play games or anyone else can still play games or watch Netflix or something else. Its been extremely convenient a very nice to have.
