2K Games president: “The Wii U offers something special”

"There have been people doubting the Wii U because they don’t really understand it."

Posted By | On 21st, Nov. 2012

Several people have been doubting Nintendo, calling out the Wii U for its flaws and saying that it might not be as successful as Nintendo might like. However, a lot of other people have full confidence that the Wii U will do well. That includes 2K Games president Christoph Hartmann.

“Nintendo always finds its crowd,” he said while speaking with MCV.

“Nintendo always impresses and surprises me,” he said. “The team there has so much knowledge built up over many, many years. There have been people doubting the Wii U because they don’t really understand it. I wasn’t sure about the Wii and I was proved wrong, proved wrong by my own people, which I like the most because we sold a lot of Carnival Games.

“I believe the Wii U offers something special and we will be surprised how consumers will get attached. There’s nothing in my body, not a single piece, doubting that the Wii U will be successful.”

The Wii U is out in North America already and releases worldwide soon. Stay tuned for more updates.
