Nintendo president Satoru Iwata has told investors that the company can’t promise that the Wii U will never be excluded from multi platform software. Iwata believes that Wii U, and the next generation consoles from both Microsoft and Sony, won’t be drastically different with regards to visuals.

“We cannot promise that the Wii U will never be excluded from multiplatform software for eternity, but we can at least assure you that the Wii U will not have such a big difference as the Wii had in comparison to how, on other platforms, developers could expect very different graphic capabilities of generating HD-applicable high-resolution graphics.”

“Other companies might launch a next-generation console with more power, but we don’t necessarily think that the difference between the Wii U and such console will be as drastic as what you felt it was between the Wii and the other consoles because there will be fewer and fewer differentiators in graphics.”
