Gaming fanatics know Shigeru Miyamoto as the genius game designer behind Nintendo. When asked about whether Nintendo is gunning up to compete in the online gaming world, the happy-go-lucky Miyamoto made one statement—he doesn’t really care much. Given the fact that Microsoft and Sony are moving mountains just to improve their online games, this statement from Miyamoto really came as a surprise.

Miyamoto also talked about how most claim that Nintendo’s advance into the network business is rather late. He comments on this by saying that the company wanted to improve the business first and make it familiar to consumers.

The game designer also said that since Nintendo launched Wii, the company has been more proactive. He also says that online connection can create new and unique creative opportunities for him, but ultimately, his goal is to provide entertainment to as many people as possible—and these people refer to owners of Wii. However, Miyamoto also mentioned their online game Mario Kart, to prove that Nintendo is gradually branching out into the Internet. Although for Miyamoto, his personally goal is to please gamers—whether they are online or not.

This decision by Nintendo not to join the hyped up competition with Microsoft and Sony is really admirable. More gaming companies should really follow Nintendo’s example when it comes to developing their strengths instead of rushing to make better sales.
