[According to new agency Reuters,] It's designed like a TV remote because that's familiar to everyone including those who are intimidated by a two-handed controller, ... Its intuitive form allows both experienced and new gamers to stand on the same starting line. |
[Whether Thursday's announcement relates to the] unconventional ... we are preparing a new product which will be surprising and unique ... we'll be able to tell you specifics next spring. |
For the controller to be placed on the table at all, we had to make it compact - I believe that this will be possible for this controller. Also, just like a TV remote control, it can be manipulated with one hand. |
For young players, classic games are brand new. For older players, they bring back memories and make you feel good. |
I can only say that it's coming out during 2006, but it will be after the current fiscal year. |
I cannot imagine any first party title could be priced for more than $50. |

I was a developer for many years before my current role, but I've never been a very good gamer.

If we continue down the same path as we have in the past, people may become tired of gaming, |

In order to realize the goal of creating a new starting line that anyone can instinctively understand we have come up with a design that differs greatly from any of today's controllers. We have also made bold innovations in play style as well. |
In the US, we're going to see the next generation cost an awful lot. I really don't think that there's going to be a lot of acceptance by current customers of the $60 price tag. They may allow that for a limited number of premium titles, but not all. |
