“First, about your impression that 3D games are more for heavy users, I do not understand why you feel that way,” Iwata replied to the question. “When Nintendo offers a new video game experience, we are basing it on our gaming population expansion strategy and have been creating software that can be enjoyed by a very wide age demographic encompassing 5 to 95 years old.”
Thus, Nintendo aims to entertain players “regardless of age”. Continuing, Iwata added, “Accordingly, we do not think that 3D games will mainly be for the heavy users. I feel that what I am trying to say now must be very hard to understand unless we can show you something tangible that will make you say, ‘I see, 3D used in this fashion is accessible to anyone.’ So, we’d like you to hold your judgment until we show you something concrete in the future.”
