I en intervju med Kotaku berättar Nintendo-bossen Satoruy Iwata att han skulle vilja göra den kommande Wii U-tjänsten Miiverse till ett Facebook för spelare.
"Facebook is something that connects you socially with a lot of different folks, but that doesn't guarantee that the people you are going to have interactions with via Facebook are interested in games. And what I'm saying is that I don't believe that the life experiences that you have-and those might be with the people you are connected with on Facebook-are not equal to the gaming experiences you might have with a lot of different folks.", säger Iwata.
"I feel that we need to create-or present-a gaming platform as the place to create that ‘social graph' for folks who are in gaming circles, I guess. So that's kind of the reason for creating Miiverse.", avslutar han.
