Microsoft impressed with Nintendo’s approach with Wii
Microsoft might be considering changing their strategy with their Xbox 360 gaming console as they seem to be inspired massively with Nintendo and their Wii gaming console.
Xbox Microsoft boss Peter Moore said in a statement hinting about possible changes in their upcoming plans: “From a first-party point of view, it’s not just about E-rated games; it’s going to be about the experience that, quite frankly, Nintendo has done a tremendous job in capturing, in bringing back fun – if you will – to the gaming platforms.”
He added: “But we’ve got a few tricks up our sleeve as well to be able to do that. It’s not something that we’re going to be shy about, and it’s not something that we’re not painfully aware of that needs to be changed by this holiday. That has been the strategy all along, and we’ll be making some more announcements in the coming month or two.”
He continued: “It’s actually not games. It’s more experiential than that. And again, since the day I saw Iwata-san pull the Nunchuk controller out from under his podium a few years ago at TGS, I’ve always realized that was the right thing for Nintendo … to be successful in this next generation. And it was always going to be a challenge for us. So, we have plans. This does not come as a surprise. Our strategy has been laid out for us years in advance, and you’re going to see some of that this next holiday and beyond.”
