February 09, 2004 - Today, IGNcube learned from the Nikkei Index that Nintendo will develop a series of peripheral add-ons to extend the life of its current system, GameCube.  
 
Nintendo has decided that it will diversify its game library and sell new peripherals for GameCube to make the current hardware more appealing to consumers instead of competing directly with Microsoft or Sony.  
Nintendo's current plan is to begin releasing these new peripherals in early 2005. There have been no further details on what these peripherals may be.  
 
Company president Satoru Iwata stated that the reasoning behind this philosophy is that "customers are fully satisfied with the performance of the current model."  
 
The Nikkei report also indicated that Nintendo might not release the successor to GameCube for "two or three years" and that it would instead concentrate on peripherals for the console.  
 
IGN contacted Nintendo of America for clarification and the subsidiary flatly denied the report.  
 
"First -- much of the Nikkei article is speculation. Mr. Iwata's comments are from a prior interview and not in direct response to the subjects raised in the article," said Nintendo of America's director of public relations Beth Llewlyn. "Second -- We are staying in the hardware business. We're working on our next generation console system and will launch it at the same time as our competitors."  
 
Asked if Nintendo would pull out of the console race, Llewlyn stated: "We're in this business for the long term. We're not getting out of the hardware business."  
 
On the subject of GameCube peripherals, Llewelyn was quiet, but did offer: "Specific details about accessories and their functions haven't been made public yet. It's far too early to make predictions about how well an accessory will do in the marketplace, but we're confident our products will be compelling."  
 
"Our focus remains entertainment and game play versus chasing after technology that doesn't truly enhance the game play experience. We'll incorporate new technology -- whether its hardware, software or accessories -- if it improves the game play experience."
