The Japanese newspaper Nikkei , who has posted an interview with Nintendo President Satoru Iwata where he talked about the business plans , about reviving Nintendo in the home console market and also about what he thinks of a future successor to his position .
Read below some parts Quote Iwata to the newspaper :
About apps for smartphones :
Applications that convey the quality of Nintendo products . They can be games and they can use the Nintendo characters . Ideally, it is something that is used daily . No plans to launch Nintendo games for smartphones and not think just porting games to the company they can help us .
How to revive the business of home consoles :
During a period when we launched the DS and the Wii , many also thought they had no future in the video games market. The Wii U is not going very well right now , but one game can change everything , as it was with the Pokémon Game Boy
About the recent announcement to invest in health and quality of life :
Nintendo has always changed , now it's time for a new change.
About finding a successor :
With 54 years old , I'm not so old among other CEOs , I still have plenty of time . It's not something that I think in the near future . Nintendo can not find someone suitable for the job from one day to the night .
About what caused the poor performance of Nintendo :
Nintendo has undergone continuous changes over the years , from letters Hanafuda for video games , and offering the latest systems such as the Wii . But the gaming industry is in a period full of new developments such as the emergence of smartphones .
Nintendo of specific strategies :
We will change the way we sell products, manage customer information through the Internet . We will offer discounts for regular customers . Let's cultivate emerging markets and launch new businesses in health care and other areas . In an emerging country , you can expand the user base only after offering a product line different from advanced economies in prices. We must abandon old assumptions about our business . We are also considering mergers and acquisitions as an option . For this reason , we will intensify buybacks.
Iwata seems to be very confident even with all these new changes . So reader, what do you expect from the future of Nintendo? Comment!
