Speaking with Japanese game mag Famitsu, Mario creator Shigeru Miyamoto said, We're still debating on the area of how many buttons to use." Miyamoto was responding to a question about run-ins Nintendo had when creating the controller, when he made this remark.
Regardless, Nintendo has high hopes for the console, which was shown when he stated: "The DS is a portable machine, so it ends up being turned on casually while walking around. In the case of a console, this can't be done. We wanted to make something that could be used every day like a television."
Continuing he also pointed out, "We started making this hardware from three years back, and while working, the staff worried whether this was the correct direction to take." So far, so good, as a the Wii got 70 percent in a Famitsu poll for next-gen console of choice. Upon hearing this, Miyamoto asked, "Was there a selection for 'I don't want any of them'? I'd like to know this, because we're fighting this 'I don't want any of them' selection."
