I en intervju med Forbes säger Nintendos högste chef Satoru Iwata att man är i full färd med att utveckla Wiins efterträdare. Några mer detaljer än så vill Iwata såklart inte dela med sig av, men tillägger i alla fall att det lär bli revolutionerande samt att man inte vill visa upp sina idéer i förväg.
"I am afraid to say that the history of entertainment is also the history of imitation. A great idea will promptly be copied unless protected through patents. At the same time, it is really important for our business to positively surprise people. Will you be surprised by our completed product if we told you how it is surprising three years in advance? Therefore, we basically disclose information on our products as late as possible. We believe this is the best approach for the entertainment products we are developing.", avslutar han.
