Miyamoto says Nintendo will be sticking to dedicated gaming hardware for the long term

Don’t expect Nintendo to ditch dedicated gaming devices anytime soon. Shigeru Miyamoto expressed the deep need for such hardware in an EDGE interview this month, telling the magazine, “A unique software experience can always be realized with unique hardware that has a unique interface.”

Below are Miyamoto’s comments in full:

“As I said before, there are always people who really want to get deeply into a game. We want to create, and they want to experience, something unprecedented all the time. For us to meet these goals, we need dedicated hardware that is designed to cater to the needs of these avid gamers. People might say that software is software. No. A unique software experience can always be realized with unique hardware that has a unique interface. That is why I believe Nintendo is, and will be, sticking to these dedicated gaming machines.”

That -New- 3DS is actually a humongous update.

Yep

I'm defiantly picking up the New Nintendo 3DS when it comes to the US.
Calling it right now, it'll probably come to America and Europe at least by mid-January 2015.

Cool Let's see

I'm also gonna buy the New 3DS XL. Got a regular XL already but I really like the updates on this one, especially the better 3D! I always play with 3D on and better is always good for that. Also like the improved RAM memory.
