Ubisoft continues to talk Wii U and also 3DS
The following comes from Ubisoft CEO Yves Guillemot…
His thoughts on the 3DS…
“I think it’s a question of coming with enough games [more] than the price. For sure the price was too high and it was a big boost when they changed it, it really was a good idea. Now we will see. When you look at the DS everybody was saying: “This machine is never going to sell,” and after a year it took off rapidly. For sure there are competitors – iPhone and all the other machines – but it will depend eventually on software. If the software is good, it should do well.”
His thoughts on the Wii U.
“I think it’s a great machine. What it brings, again, is ease of play. The new players that have came [to gaming] in the last eight years came because it was easy to play. Some came with the stylus, from Nintendo, some with the Wii remote, then the touchscreen then Microsoft with [Kinect]. I think we will see with the Wii U another step where it’s easy to play, to access, and it’s really well adapted to socialisation. There are lots of possibilities linked to the machine.”
