The following comments come from Ubisoft's CEO Yves Guillemot concerning the Wii U, 3DS sales and Wii sales...
- "really a huge improvement over what can be done in the console business today."
- "We must not forget that Nintendo has been the biggest seller this generation, and has a huge number of customers that appreciate the brands that are created on the Wii and will be interested to go to the next generation."
- "(Nintendo will) do what’s necessary to launch [the Wii U] in a huge way."
- "There were not many high profile games launched with the machine, but we think there will be lots launched before the end of the year, so it will continue to grow. If you remember, the DS launch didn't go very smoothly, so we have to look at [the 3DS] in the longer term than we do now. Potentially it could become a great machine."
- "Wii will still be really well performing this year. [Nintendo] already decreased the price, and we know Nintendo will make sure to perform this Christmas, so we expect the Wii will be strong this year, especially on casual products."
