Nintendo's expectations for Nintendo TVii, what was learned from Wii/3DS
This is part of a Hollywood Report interview with Nintendo's Scott Moffitt...
Hollywood Reporter: How do you see this growing moving forward?
Scott Moffitt: It will be interesting to see how it evolves and how consumers really embrace it, but we think it's a revolutionary application for the system. We think it's going to add a lot of value, and we think consumers are going to really enjoy finding, interacting, and changing the way they watch and enjoy TV.
Hollywood Reporter: What have you learned from Nintendo 3DS and Wii entertainment offerings that you're applying to Nintendo TVii?
Scott Moffitt: The first thing we've learned through the Wii, as well as through the 3DS, is that Netflix is a very popular application and service on those consoles and gaming devices. Consumers really are finding a lot of uses beyond just gaming, and that's great. We have taken that learning, broadened it, and deepened it with what we're doing with Nintendo TVii. It's now more interactive and engaging and incorporates a broader range of services such as cable TV.
