Satoru Iwata Current Quotations

I was a developer for many years before my current role, but I've never been a very good gamer.

The feeling is so natural and real, as soon as players use the controller, their minds will spin with the possibilities of how this will change gaming as we know it today. This is an extremely exciting innovation --one that will thrill current players and entice new ones.

I really don't think that there's going to be a lot of acceptance by current customers of the $60 price tag.

I can only say that it's coming out during 2006, but it will be after the current fiscal year.
