Gamers are ready for the next generation of consoles, says Iwata

Iwata thinks that gamers are ready for the next generation of home consoles to start. He sees the declining sales of all three current systems as a sign that the market is ready for something new.

However, not just the Wii, but the overall performance of home consoles in December was lower than the previous year, and I think that the market is now waiting for a new proposal for home consoles.

And I think he’s right. With Microsoft and Sony both keeping their focus on milking every last dollar out of the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360, Nintendo have the chance to gain a huge competitive advantage in the next generation by being the ones to kick it off.
