“The Wii is now approaching 40 million homes here in the United States, so from a penetration standpoint we’re beginning to top out in terms of the total number of systems sold, and that’s why it makes so much sense to prepare for the launch of the Wii U.” – Reggie Fils-Aime

“The big innovation with the Wii U is the controller and the ability to have an interactive experience that leverages all of your traditional input buttons as well as a screen built right into the controller. Yes, the system is HD capable; it’ll generate the most gorgeous pictures. But for us that’s not enough. We need to continue pushing the overall experience forward. We need to bring new types of entertainment. New types of gaming and the combination of a big first screen — your home TV — coupled with a second screen in your hands, in our view, is going to bring gaming to a whole new experience and to continue driving the industry.”
