Mr. Iwata Talks About Console Cycles: When is the right time?

We touched on part of this before, but here is the whole thing.

“Whenever we have developed one hardware system, we start to discuss what we should do with our next hardware. In the past, we had a kind of common sense understanding of the video game industry’s platform cycles, like , say, 5 years for home consoles and a little less time for portable devices.”

“I’m quite doubtful that such a notion of platform cycles can be applied in the future. As I said at the end of my presentation today, what was believed in this industry to be common sense is not actually an unchangeable truth,” he added. “So, as we continue our research and study for new hardware, when we will be able to launch a new kind of hardware will actually depend on when we can change entertainment completely, and so have a strong impact on people around the world. Or, there will certainly be a time when we have to say that we have done everything possible with the current machine, that we can never propose anything new.”

Pub installs Virtual Snooker Hall

By  • 

London, England – 5th November 2007 – A London pub have announced plans to install a ‘Virtual Snooker Hall’, inspired by the Nintendo® DS launch of World Snooker Championship™ Season 2007-08 game, released by Koch Media and available at all games retailers now.

Gordon McIntyre, landlord of the The Metropolitan (60 Great Western Road, W11), says he was inspired to bring back the pub snooker halls of old on a smaller scale, inspired by having played the addictive new DS title. Drinkers at the pub will be able to hire a DS with copy of the World Snooker Championship game from behind the bar, for a half-hour session to play against their friends or for a solitary game versus one of the world’s best professional players as featured in the game. The World Snooker Championship Virtual Snooker Hall will be featured at The Metropolitan from the 8th November, when the pub reopens after closure for refurbishment: As far as we are aware, this is the world’s first instance of a virtual snooker hall being installed anywhere!
