Nintendo Learns from Mistakes with GameCube

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the a-company-that-learns-is-no-company-at-all dept.

kukyfrope writes "Reggie Fils-Aime, Nintendo of America's Executive VP of Sales and Marketing, talks about what went wrong with GameCube and how Nintendo will not make the same mistakes when launching Wii. Reggie admits that the initial software lineup for the GameCube was simply not 'diverse and strong enough from a first and third-party perspective,' and by Nintendo's showing at E3 2006, the Wii will launch with a wide variety of games for may types of gamers."

    You assume I'm making an immature joke, but I'm not.

    "GameCube" says what it is -- it's a cube that plays games. Pretty straightforward. Good name.

    "Wii" -- what the fuck is that? How do you even pronounce it? It could be a new fragrance. It could be a brand of baby food. It could be "W-2". Terrible name.

    I find this new learning fascinating. What does "emacs" mean in your world? ; )

    Crap.
