13. The Latest Developed Game Console(from Nintendo)—3DS: Nintendo has to compete by developing new technologies “If we had unthinkingly repeated what we did during the Game Boy Advance era, I think [Nintendo’s] fate would have been sealed. However, we kept moving forward, and because we didn't stop, we were able to create this new large market … we will need to continue to take on new challenges. Nintendo's lifeline depends on whether we can offer something different from other systems and whether we can provide added-value through the integration of hardware and software. We would like to continue offering such experiences to consumers.”–Satoru Iwata, CEO of Nintendo, Q&A at 2011 E3 conference Image by pinboke

And as a result, they have a higher overall use rate.”–Satoru Iwata, CEO of Nintendo, Q&A at 2011 E3 conference Image by house of bamboo
