Iwata doesn’t believe that console ban situation in China has “changed drastically”
No Comments
Recently, there were reports that China could end its twelve-year ban on video game consoles, and since China is such a hugely-popular country, this would be a big opportunity for companies like Nintendo. But during the latest investor briefing from Nintendo, Satoru Iwata remained hesitant. He said that, despite the reports, he does “not think that the situation has actually changed drastically”.
If the ban is lifted though — and Nintendo has been preparing for that possibility — then “an announcement [will be made] from inside China”. For now, let’s just hope Iwata’s wrong in this case and that day will come sooner than he expects.
