Nintendo’s Adelman Says We Have A History Of Doing Our Own Thing, For Better Or For Worse Nintendo’s Business Development Manager, Dan Adelman, admits that the company has a habit of doing their own thing, sometimes for better and sometimes for worse. However, he is extremely confident that sales of the Wii U will improve given the steady number of high-profile first party titles coming to the platform in the coming months. “We often don’t compare ourselves to other consoles. We have a history of doing our own thing, for better or for worse,” he says. “We’ve had quite a bit of success not necessarily following the competition – for example, last generation with Wii, everyone was thinking it’s all about graphics horsepower and CPU horsepower and high-end graphics and shaders, and I think the Wii successfully demonstrated that no, it’s really all about gameplay and what kinds of new types of gameplay can you create, what new experiences can you create. Beauty fades.” “I think we’d all like to see our install base grow a little bit faster, and I think we’ll see that when our holiday lineup comes up. I think a lot of developers are waiting on that. But so far, among the existing install base, purchases are pretty healthy and demand is pretty healthy, in that install base community.”
