Nintendo has admitted that it's not just 'geeks and otaku' who are running into storage space problems. Reggie Fils-Anime has said it's becoming a problem for the entire Wii user base.
Speaking in an interview with MTV, Nintendo of America's president addressed a question asking whether the company saw the problem primarily as a niche demand:
"From an Americas-centric perspective, here is the reality we see. We have a consumer base who loves virtual console. We have a userbase who really is enjoying WiiWare content.
"So for us really our challenge really is how do we satisfy all these consumers who are loving all of the product we make available on a download basis?
"As we continue to have things, as you point out, like 'Mario Kart' that has its own channel when you're playing from an Internet perspective, we're just making this challenge tougher and tougher.
"So in our view this is becoming much more of a mainstream problem, which is why we have a sense of urgency to solve it."
Whilst it's easier to judge from the outside looking in, we're getting increasingly bewildered by Nintendo's approach to this problem. You're not trying to solve the energy crisis, Nintendo. Just release a hard drive. With a game if you have to.
