Take-Two Boss ‘Sceptical’ About Wii U for Core Games

In an interview with Gamasutra [as cited by GIBiz] Take-Two CEO Strauss Zelnick voiced his doubts over the Wii U as a viable console for Take-Two’s core franchises.

Zelnick says he is “sceptical” about the Wii U for the core franchises, but did however admit that Take-Two is interested in making sports and family games for Nintendo’s next-generation consoles.

“For a company like ours, it’s a great opportunity,” he said.

“[New console launches] separate the winners from the losers, and we fully expect to be one of the winners.”

“I don’t want to minimize the challenge of creating titles for new technology or the economic challenges of doing that, but if you get it right, it’s a terrific time to launch a new IP.”
