“There isn’t a clear winning system. This is a problem for a company like mine. As a publisher, we can’t just not develop for consoles. We considered quite a bit and have now pretty much decided on the direction that should be taken. We were able to make many popular series like Professor Layton, Inazuma Eleven, and Ni no Kuni. We will use such series as weapons to evolve our console business.” - Level-5 president Akihiro Hino

This is just a small snippet of a massive interview with Mr. Hino. In the full interview, we learn a lot more about how Level 5 feels concerning Layton series/Inazuma sales. We also hear some more specific comments on the 360/PS3/Wii. Sounds to me like Level 5 is pretty interested in the Wii…and that Inazuma sequel may end up there. Read the interview for yourself, and see what conclusions you draw!
