So can someone explain this QOL crap? Is it like PS Now? I'm really confused here.

It's an investor meeting, not Nintendo Direct. 

I know but maybe there was a way

Sounds like something like Wii Fit, except an entire platform based around that. lol.

Not unless someone snuck in a camera.

Makes sense with their health push, guess Nintendo is looking beyond gaming so that it can have something to fall back on when hard times occur.

Even though they have been around since 1889 gaming has only come in the last 30 years, they may see it as a window that is closing.



Sounds like Nintendo is getting into the health/fitness business full stop. Like that's going to be a new business side for them.

"Quality of life" platform will launch in April 2015. Sounds like this is their next big play.

Have they seen the sales for Wii Fit U? The fitness genre is effectively dead.

Wearables are not unique (like tablets) they have already been established with the likes of the nike band and my galaxy note 3

True, although the entire company has refocused around it to the point that the memory of non-gaming Nintendo is likely dead and gone.

The vitality sensor was a brilliant idea in its time, but the trouble is making the product really stand out. Biofeedback gaming floats around (the university i'm getting my grad degree at just opened a new anti-stress center that includes biofeedback games), but like motion gaming pre-Wii, is seen really as a niche gimmick. Nintendo has the talent to push beyond that, if they keep their eye on the prize.
