^ You can read the whole thing there. How real is this?
Reggie has REALLY been making the rounds lately hasn’t he! Check out a few snippets from an Engadget interview with the Regginator. Thanks to GaGa, Husky217 and Doug for the info! Click the link below to read the full interview.
Engadget - Now how do you respond to some of the criticisms of the service (Wi-fi connection), like the lack of persistent friends?
Reggie - Well, a couple of things. First the number of concerns or questions that have been raised by consumers who use the service are extremely modest. I mean we are talking hundredths of a percent of actual connections in terms of any consumers who are saying something negative about the service or the approach.
And the second point, in terms of having to have new friend codes for every game, quite frankly, what that does is put control in the hands of the gamer. So there are some people that I want to let into my house with Animal Crossing and others that I don’t, and that friend code set up allows me to manage that title by title. We think that’s the appropriate way to go.
Engadget - (Speaking of new franchises on Revolution) Something that will be as big as a Nintendogs or a Zelda?
Reggie - That is certainly the goal, but you’ll have to tell me when you see it at E3. We will be showing a lot of information about Revolution at E3. You know we’ve said publicly that this year’s E3 will be Revolution’s coming out party. Now, we’ve also been quite clear that there are innovations inherent in Revolution that we will be sharing ongoing. That it is simply not a one time event for us to share information about Revolution and all of its innovation. I have seen blog entries on your site and other sites that criticize us for that, but quite frankly, it’s just good business. In terms of letting the consumer know what’s involved and sharing that information all the way up until launch.
