Nintendo Seeks Worldwide Revolution
Iwata sets high stakes for next-generation console
by Wade Steel

October 26, 2005 - Nintendo president Satoru Iwata announced today in an interview with Nikkei Business that his company plans a simultaneous global launch for its upcoming Revolution next-generation gaming console. Iwata went on to state that while the console is planned for a 2006 release, it will not be available prior to the end of the company's fiscal year which ends in March.

The Nintendo president also raised the corporate stakes for the console's success by stating that if the Revolution did not outsell the company's current GameCube console, which stands at 18.76 million units sold to date, the next-generation platform would be a "complete failure."

Complete failure sounds rather drastic.

Although if they spend a lot of money and time to make Revolution, they need good sells.

Or they are stating that Gamecube sold pretty bad.

I believe there are more gamers now than there used to be, in any case, population grows, gamer amount grows too. So, more sells too.
