Team Ninja: 'Consoles Are Not Going Away Any ... - Games News

Written By: Editor - Oct? 20?12

While some mobile developers claim that video game consoles are becoming less popular, Team Ninja boss Yosuke Hayashi says consoles will be around for quite some time. Hayashi is excited for Nintendo?s upcoming console, Wii U, and thinks that it could get people interested in console gaming again.

?I don?t think consoles are going to disappear from gaming. You still have millions of people playing videogames with a controller on a box in front of the TV. Just look at Call of Duty, for example: it?s everywhere. There are millions of people playing it.

?I think people will continue to play games, and as long as the cost of development stays sustainable, and people continue to buy traditional games, then we?ll be here. If only one game sells everything, it will ruin the gaming and console industries completely.

?I think you can compare it to movies, People still go to the cinema after all this time. I don?t know how long cinemas have been around but it?s not like cinemas are completely gone and everyone is watching movies on their TV or smartphone.

?Yes, you have those new mediums, but the old guy is still there ? and I think it?s going to be like that with consoles. I think they will be around for quite a while.?
