Wii2 could be 8 years away. (Iwata interview inside)

"As long as they are comfortable with the current technology's ability to deliver meaningful surprises to the users, we don't need new hardware. However, when they start demanding something new, when they see the existing hardware can't provide what they need, then that is when we decide to launch the new hardware. As for timing, it may be three years from now, five years from now or eight years from now."

Now that I got your attention...read the full interview here. Pretty interesting...talks about HD, iPhone, and even makes a good case for why they are doing the vitality sensor.

Interesting. They should have to this conclusion 3 years ago.

Every time I see obvious blue ocean references from Iwata, I alway picture him browsing through a bookstore, idly leafing through "The Blue Ocean Strategy" then his jaw slowly dropping before he runs out of the bookstore, so excited that he forgets to pay for the book.Tylendal

And everytime I see Iwata or any other Nintendo guy talking about blue ocean, red ocean and disruption, I imagine all the suits at Microsoft and Sony mistakenly hearing something like "CASUALS, MOTION SENSING, CASUALS, MOTION SENSING, CASUAL, MOTION SENSING, MINI GAMES, CASUALS, MINI GAMES... MONEYZ!!!!111".

Its not going to be 8 years, i hope some people actually read what he had to say. It was a good read. Nice and short and gave great insight on what and how Nintendo feels/is right now. However, i still have my doubts on that pulse thing.
