According to the company executive of Nintendo, the Japanese giants have started to make plans for their next-gen console.
“For the time being, our focus is on the Wii U hardware, but Nintendo as a whole has groups working on ideas for new hardware systems. While we’re busy working on software for the Wii U, we have production lines that are working on ideas for what the next system might be.” (Shigeru Miyamoto)
We’re not surprised with this information to be honest, as Nintendo released their WiiU console two years ago. So it would only make sense that they’re starting to plan for the future. Hopefully they thinking about simplifying the concept of gameplay as we feel this may be the reason for their slow sales.
