Xbox One and PS4 aren't a big scare, claims Wii U maker
Most of the E3 buzz has been devoted to Sony and Microsoft heavyweight consoles, but Nintendo hasn't given up hope of being a serious contender this holiday season.
The Wii U has been something of a slow starter, and has sold only 3.5 million units to date.
But Nintendo communications director Charlie Scibetta tells Gamespot (http://www.gamespot.com/e3/nintendo-believes-wii-u-can-succeed-against-xbox-one-ps4-this-holiday-6409903/) that the new lineup of exclusive titles and the Wii U's lower price point will draw consumers to the established brand of beloved games.
"If you're a consumer going in and you have these options; we know what the price points are now from the competitors, we know what the games are from the competitors; and we know now what the Wii U is going to offer," said Scibetta.
"We feel good about where we stack up. It's the software that's going to motivate them."
