For the president of Nintendo, this is the only way to avoid conflict with third parties already in the past Q & A sessions between Satoru Iwata and investors have made a lot 'of material to discuss, and the last meeting is no exception. We have already given reports that the "mea culpa" of the president of Nintendo regarding the online functionality of the Wii, but now we learn that among the strategies of the house in Kyoto for 3DS is to plan carefully Nintendo releases so as not to adversely affect the titles produced by third parties.
"We do not believe that Nintendo can do everything alone," said Iwata. "Of course we are well aware that the titles Nintendo has a duty to promote the sales of hardware, but we are not so arrogant as to think they can do it yourself." The company's new approach is therefore to plan outings together with third parties, so as to maximize the sales of Nintendo titles but did not adversely affect those of games made by other manufacturers, at least in the short term.
