Nintendo’s senior managing director Shigeru Miyamoto is confident that the Wii U has a long future ahead of it. Miyamoto was asked by The New York Times if he had been disappointed by the sluggish sales that the console is currently experiencing. Miyamoto says in the short-term he is slightly concerned, but in the long-term he thinks that the console still has a bright future ahead.

“I think that the Wii U still has a long future. We really view it as being the ideal device that families are going to want to have connected to that screen in the living room that everyone is going to gather around and watch. Certainly in the short term I would want to see it performing with probably a little more momentum. I think in the long term I’m not at a point where I’m concerned yet.”

Seriously they need an NFC Pokemon out like now.

I remember my days of spending upto $200 on Pokemon/Yugioh cards per year.

Great minds think alike, Miyamoto...

I'm gonna wait until the holiday season when the big first and Ubisoft-party guns are released.

The wiiu needs more games.Nintendo needs to axe the basic wiiu

I concur with his sentiment. It's too early - at this very moment - to be worried, as this is generally a slower time of the year and the console is still in its infancy.

That said, the window is quickly closing to start prepping for how the future will play out. It's imperative that big games and a price cut arrive in time for the console to pick up steam and head soaringly into the holidays. In short, they need another recreation of the "3DS effect".
