Nintendo is working on its next console, says Miyamoto
In an interview with AP, the designer said that while the firm remains very much committed to developing games for Wii U, it also has teams working up idea for the company's next major hardware offering.
"We're focused on providing a robust line-up of Wii U software for next year. It seems like we've managed to do that this year and people are very happy with what we've done on Wii U," he said.
"For the time being, our focus is on the Wii U hardware, but Nintendo as a whole has groups working on ideas for new hardware systems. While we're busy working on software for the Wii U, we have production lines that are working on ideas for what the next system might be," he went on to confirm.
This doesn't come as a surprise since it's typical for platform holders to begin work on their next machine soon after their last hardware launch, but this does come a the first official acknowledgment of Nintendo's work on a new console.
Miyamoto also spoke briefly of the key role Mario typically plays in showing off the evolution of Nintendo's new hardware. "With each digital evolution, he was there to usher in the next era. I think that maybe when we release the next hardware system, you can look forward to seeing Mario take on a new role or in a new game," he said.
Nintendo highlighted encouraging Wii U sales growth in October as it posted improved financial results for the first half of its business year.
The company said Wii U sales have been on an upward curve since Mario Kart 8's release in May. Nintendo sold 610,000 Wii U consoles in its most recent quarter, for a total of 1.12 million in the April-September period, taking lifetime Wii U sales to 7.29 million units since launching in November 2012.

Famous_Energy Remake of the gameboy advance would be nice, lol.
Advance SP would be even better, with better graphics and even smaller than it already was.

Earnleeboy153 go back to the orignals nintendo, bring back hand held gaming like the gameboy era!

Nope. The only people who loved it where kids who were born in the 90's .Kids now a days only enjoy the X1 and PS4. They have to make a new platform that is somewhat like the x1 and ps4 but also make a new game that are fit for children. Honestly, if Minecraft was only on a Nintendo Game Console (like Mario) then Nintendo would be competing with both Sony and MS.
