Take-Two CEO “skeptical” of Wii U, but excited over possibilities inherent with new consoles

Take-Two chairman and CEO Strauss Zelnick has told Gamasutra the firm doesn’t have plans at present release its core franchises onto Wii U.

According Zelnick, he is skeptical of whether the console is viable for titles other than family or causal, offerings T2 has no qualms about releasing on Nintendo’s latest.

“We haven’t announced anything. I’m skeptical,” he said, adding that despite the skepticism, he is excited over the possibilities of next-gen console systems.

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

That said, Zelnick also said he is adverse to releasing annualized IPs as it can overexpose your franchise.

“I don’t aim to annualize our non-sports titles because I think you run the risk of burning out the consumer — even if its very high quality [product],” he said. “Some of our competitors have had this trajectory where they extract a lot of value and the IP goes away. We’re trying really hard to build permanent IP. And if you have to rest the title for a few years, over time you’ll extract more value. … We’re not trying to create something good and market the hell out of it.

“We’re trying to delight customers with something great — and market hell out of it.”


T2的CEO兼主席Zelnick说现在没计划把公司的核心IP放到Wii U上，并质疑Wii U成功可能性

此外对其他的次世代主机表示了浓厚兴趣

这种不识抬举的专做不健康游戏厂就活该被希拉里天天念到被EA收购的下场

有了乐高版gta，骨肉皮版就不用出了

T2 这2年亏了1.5亿，确实不敢在新硬件上投资，任地狱也说不会买第三方游戏，所以爱来来

其实wiiu倒是适合gta4，榨取些剩余价值，也可以看看市场接受度

take two旗下明明不少游戏可战， 为何还会亏损？

不过我觉得这样的心态很正常， 毕竟wiiu是wii的后继机， 在还没确定wiiu的用户群之前大部分的第三方都是观望居多

XCOM拖那么长，还分了俩游戏出来。GTA赚也不够这么耗

t2得心态倒是可以理解，毕竟wiiu装机量0，倒是lz的心态不正常

一个是重制啊，这就跟吃人大舅出来之前先搞个hd合集差不多

gta没有ms给钱,得亏多少......

任毒瘤:爱来来,不来滚

一个FPS XCOM一个TPS XCOM ENEMY UNKNOWN，那后公布的TPS重制，不过我只想要前者，等很长时间。
开始trailer特别吸引，差点买台360，跨了就算了，然后现在没声音

关键还看rockstar，t2这母公司的控制力弱。
