Activision's boss talks about Wii U and PlayStation Life

According to Robert Kotick, the new Nintendo console was "necessary" from the technical point of view during an interview with the Guardian, Robert Kotick, Activision's CEO, spoke among other things the Wii and PlayStation U Life. As for the new Nintendo platform, said that in some ways had become "necessary".

"From the point of view of developers, a Nintendo console, able to act on a par in terms of hardware and graphics with what is currently offered in the market was necessary. For the type of games we produce, it was becoming very difficult to support the Wii, considering ever increasing expectations of users.

I think that Wii features introduced by U are interesting, and having a second screen (the one on the controller, Ed) is excellent in terms of innovation. Moreover, I believe it is very important that you can use the existing controller with the new console. Nintendo has always done a great job when it comes to thinking about how to make the best gaming experience, and Wii this way U will be no exception.

" But what we see on the Wii Activision franchises U? Kotick responded: "I can not reveal anything at the moment, but I can say that the console will allow you to run multiplayer games with a certain thickness, although in this respect are waiting for Nintendo to give us the exact specifications of the machine.

However, we could do some work 'on the development kit and we were thrilled. "Finally, the CEO of Activision has also spoken of PlayStation Life:" This is a fantastic device in terms of hardware. We are really thrilled to work with, is something incredible. The question is: what will the market? Because I think that the announced price is surprisingly affordable, and that the product itself is extraordinary.

I wonder if the market really needs to have a handheld with these capabilities, but personally I hope so, because it will be a handheld is very different from what is currently available, capable of overcoming even the most sophisticated smartphones and tablet.
