"Nintendo will\u00A0new launch new consoles that are specifically designed and priced for emerging markets next year, Bloomberg reports. Company president Satoru Iwata\u00A0told the news agency that its emerging market consoles will be\u00A0entirely new,\u00A0rather than modified versions of existing\u00A0products.\r\n\r\n\u201CWe want to make new things, with new thinking rather than a cheaper version of what we currently have. The product and price balance must be made from scratch,&amp;quot; Iwata said, although he declined to provide more specific information about what is planned.\r\n\r\nNintendo announced plans for mobile and web companion apps for its Mario Kart franchise, but still the firm is resisting launching games for mobile and that doesn't look like changing soon. \u201CWe have had a console business for 30 years and I don\u2019t think we can just transfer that over onto a smartphone model,\u201D Iwata\u00A0told Bloomberg.\r\n\r\n\u27A4 Nintendo will develop new consoles for emerging markets\u00A0[The Verge]\r\n\r\nThumbnail image via\u00A0Oscar Alcal\u00E1 / Flickr"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
