Nintendo of America president Reggie Fils-Amie has seen the launch lineups for the PS4 and Xbox One but so far he's unimpressed. Speaking to IGN yesterday the executive claimed the competition's titles were "meh".
“It’s all about the games. The competitive systems have announced their launch lineups. I’m allowed to say ‘Meh'. I look at our lineup of titles and I feel good about our lineup. We’ve got Zelda. We’ve got Mario. We’ve got Donkey Kong.
"In addition to great titles like Pikmin 3 and Wonderful 101, I feel very good about our lineup, and I feel very good about the value proposition we’re putting out there for the consumer.”
Sony has confirmed 33 launch window games for the PS4 while Microsoft has so far announced 20. Among the games coming to PS4 at launch are Killzone: Shadow Fall, Knack, and Drive Club. Microsoft are launching the Xbox One with Ryse: Son of Rome, Dead Rising 3 and Fighter Within.
Nintendo yesterday declared that is was dropping the price of the Wii U to $300 and also revealed a new iteration of handheld, the 2DS, which will go on sale this October for $129.
Sony's Shuhei Yoshida has discussed the importance of offering a "steady flow" of games following the PS4s launch while key next-gen titles such as Titanfall are set for a 2014 release; perhaps Reggie's opinion will change as more titles come out but for now, Nintendo seems pretty confident.
Both the PS4 and Xbox One are set to be released this November. How well do you think the Wii U can compete?
