Cheesemester3k from NeoGaf is translating some questions & answers from Kimishima (investors Q&A) on Twitter, just running down some of the more interesting parts
- Wii U will only have 800k shipment for the year, the positive according to Kimishima is they can focus on the 3DS now (ouch for Wii U die-hards)
- Currency conditions are more favorable than when Wii U launched in 2012, doesn't anticipiate NX to be sold at a loss as a result.
- Wanting more software is *one* reason for timing of NX launch (this implies there are other reasons, I'm guessing 14nm fab difficulties)
- Want a steady flow of games post launch, launch is not the only important part, post-launch also, planning for "platform" (NX) to be something that will be played for a long time (hmmm).
- Says Nintendo's priority on launch hardware (NX) has not changed with regards to Yamauchi and Iwata stressing holiday launches in the past. Says Nintendo has always stressed having a "proper launch" as in enough games for the consumer to play being more important. Holiday release is not a "must".
- NX and smartphone apps will largely make up for a "great decline" in Wii U sales.
I'll update more as he goes along.
