Nintendo: 3DS launch a lesson

In speaking with MTV Multiplayer Nintendo boss Reggie Fils-Aime admitted to two mistakes made at the 3DS launch, that the company will not make with the upcoming launch of Wii U. Firstly, they need to have strong games for launch, and secondly a "robust digital environment".

"Certainly we will take learning from 3DS, both positive and opportunities and apply all of those to the launch next year of Wii U. Things like the importance of digital. Certainly the importance of strong first-party support right at the launch. Those are things that we will look to strongly reapply as we prepare for Wii U."

Reggie did not say anything about getting the price right at launch, but given the price cut that 3DS sees later this week it's probably implied. Hopefully Nintendo will price Wii U more appropriately at launch.
