Nintendo of America head says "meh" to PS4 & Xbox One launch line-ups

Reggie Fils-Aime isn't impressed with the launch line-ups of both PS4 and Xbox One, and has stated that Nintendo's current slate is ahead of its competitor's.

In an IGN interview, Fils-Aime was asked for his thoughts on the yesterday's Wii U price-cut announcement and what incentives there are to get new customers on board with the format. He replied, "It’s all about the games. The competitive systems have announced their launch lineups. I’m allowed to say ‘Meh'.

"I look at our lineup of titles and I feel good about our lineup. We’ve got Zelda. We’ve got Mario. We’ve got Donkey Kong. In addition to great titles like Pikmin 3 and Wonderful 101, I feel very good about our lineup, and I feel very good about the value proposition we’re putting out there for the consumer."

In the end, Fils-Aimes said all he wants is to give consumes fun gaming experiences. "We’ve got cloud technology that we’re delivering with Wii U. Nintendo TVii is all cloud-based technology. But the difference is, we don’t talk about the tech. We talk about the experience.

"We make sure that the consumer has fun with the game experiences that we provide. And so I think as you compare and contrast Nintendo with other players in the space, for us it’s about games, about the fun, about the entertainment value, and not about the tech."

Also in Nintendo-land, the company just announced the Nintendo 2DS handheld. Get images, details and a trailer here.
