Traditional console cycle now irrelevant?
Nintendo has chosen the perfect time to launch the Wii U, reckons EA boss John Riccitiello.
Speaking in an interview with IndustryGamers, Riccitiello refuted the suggestion that, seeing as it’s ostensibly no more powerful than the PlayStation 3 or Xbox 360, the Wii U is arriving too late in the current console cycle to stand a chance.
“I would argue that one of the least interesting things about the games industry was that every five years you’d see a new console or platform from everybody at about the same time with about the same or similar upgrades or services,” he said.
