But he was a bit evasive when it came to answering a question about why Nintendo hasn't announced or launched a new version of the Wii. Fils-Aime's response: Nintendo has launched a new Wii — one that comes in the color red. But that doesn't really count as an answer to, say, Kinect does it? The Wii has been hugely successful, no doubt. But it is now four years old and its sales have been on the decline.
