IGN: The Nikkei newspaper revealed this morning that the 3DS system has some sort of software installation option. I'm wondering if you can comment further on what was announced.
Miyamoto: I'm not familiar with the article that you're referencing, but of course even with Nintendo DSi we introduced DSiWare and we introduced applications that were built into the system menu. So I wonder if maybe they were talking about something along those lines?
IGN: They're actually not. They're saying that there's an option you can use to install software so that you don't have to bring your cartridges with you. It was something separate from DSiWare.
Miyamoto:
I'm not familiar with that.
IGN: No problem. Now that you've established the next handheld generation, where do you see the Wii in, say, two years?
Miyamoto: I'm sure we'll continue to see the Wii platform evolve, as it has over the years. Obviously our focus right now is on the Wii MotionPlus, and how we're able to create gameplay with it that is very intuitive.
So I think that we'll continue to do that over the next couple of years. But that's really all I can say about what's coming.
IGN: What are your impressions of the PlayStation Move and Microsoft's Kinect?
Miyamoto:
