Q: What was your reaction to Nintendo's console announcement at E3 and are you worried that it's going to encroach on PlayStation 3 growth?
Andrew House: Honestly, the way these conferences work, I've had zero exposure to it.
Q: But you know it's happened, right?
Andrew House: Yes, of course. I'm aware of the announcement but in terms of details I've not seen a great deal. It's intreaging, but I'm interested to hear your reaction as a journalist because I've heard varying opinions.
Q: I was confused by it. But it's too early to judge. I'd like to hear more solid technical details, game details.
Andrew House: Is it an extension of the Wii? Is it definalty a next generation step for them? Or is it like a DSiXL more?
Q: They're positioning it as new console.
Andrew House: Did they say what the additional controller strategy is going to be?
Q: It uses the Wiimote and other peripherals.
Andrew House: But that means then that the lowest common denominator is going to be a Wii interaction for the vast majority of consumers. What if you've got a family of six?
Q: You're questioning me now. [laughs] I can't comment.
Andrew House: I always wanted to do this to a journalist.
Q: But what I'm trying to get around to is, Nintendo has admitted that the third-party content they showed was footage from PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360. How do you feel about Nintendo using your content to sell their product?
Andrew House: The only thing I've got to say is mimicry is the is the highest form of flattery.
