Miyamoto: Nintendo is Prepping Successor to Troubled Wii U

From DailyTech: Shigeru Miyamoto nearly single-handedly built Japan's Nintendo Comp. Ltd. (TYO:7974) into the world's most iconic gaming company. Now the creator of such iconic franchises as "The Mario Brothers", "Zelda", and "Donkey Kong" is trying to pull Nintendo back from the brink.

In a recent interview with The Associated Press, the video game legend confirmed that Nintendo is working on a successor to the troubled Wii U. He commented:

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.

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.
