"So all this tells us that the machine can have a great success, because it will bring to families a good machine. And this will be for gamers but also for all the social games that are generally sold on the Wii. Going after those two types of populations will give a good chance for that machine to have a great success."

Guillemot about the Wii U.  

It's important to remember that he's saying this for the benefit of Ubisoft shareholders.  It means little until the NX actually releases and we get to see how Ubisoft plans to support it.  Ubisoft will turn on a dime depending on how the market responds.

The statements made about NX are much more bold than they were about Wii U.  Look at your quote "chance" to have great success vs. now _____

Nintendo wasn't out of the race before releasing the Wii U, so he couldn't have possibly made similar statements back then. 

OT: I don't care about Ubisoft. Bring back Prince of Persia and you will have my ears.
