Tose - Nintendo's growth is too significant
A portion of a Gamasutra interview with a Tose executive…
GS: How do you feel the Japanese market has changed in the last two years, with the advent of new consoles?
Tose: In the past two years, the DS and Wii have become the dominant players in the industry. Sony took a large marketshare in the industry with the PS2, but has been a little bit behind for the PS3. Overall, the industry is still growing.
The third-party publishers of the industry have been growing, but Nintendo’s growth is too significant. So for me, that is not good for the publishers. That is just good for Nintendo. For us, we still can have lots of projects for many companies for the Wii and DS, but for the publishers, it’s not a good situation.
