E ai ki te uiui ki te kaihoahoa kēmu Nintendo a Shigeru Miyamoto, ko te kaupapa e aro ana ki te ahua hou o te taunekeneke o te kaitakaro. "Ko te whakaaetanga ko te mana ehara i te mea katoa mo te papatohu. Kāore e taea e ngā papatohu kaha rawa te noho tahi. He rite tonu ki te whai i ngā rauropi nanakia anake. Ka whawhai pea, ka whakatere i to rātau whakangaromanga ake".I te tau 2003, ka huihui ngā kaipūkaha kēmu me ngā kaihoahoa ki te whakawhanake i te ariā. I te tau 2005 kua whai ahua te atanga kaiwhakahaere, engari i whakakorea te whakaaturanga a te iwi whanui i te Whakaaturanga Whakangahau Hiko o taua tau (E3). I kii a Miyamoto ko te kamupene "he raru ki te mahi. Na ka whakatau mātou kia kaua e whakaatu i te pūmana, ā, ka whakaatu noa i te papatohu". I muri mai ka whakaatuhia e te perehitini o Nintendo a Satoru Iwata me te whakaatu i te Wii Remote i te Whakaaturanga Taakaro o Tokyo o Hepetema. E kiia ana ko te Nintendo DS i awe i te hoahoa o te Wii. Ko te kaihoahoa a Ken'ichiro Ashida i kii, "I whai whakaaro matou ki te DS i a maatau e mahi ana i te Wii. I whakaaro mātou ki te tārua i te atanga pa-papa o te DS, ā, i puta mai he tauira". I te mutunga ka whakakahoretia te whakaaro na te whakaaro he rite tonu nga punaha petipeti e rua. I kii ano a Miyamoto, "[...] mena i taka te DS, akene kua hoki mai ano taatau ki te papa tuhi". I te Pipiri 2011 i whakaatuhia e Nintendo te tauira o tana kaiwhaiwhai ki te Wii, ka mohiotia ko te Wii U.  Pātai: Na wai te kamupene i waihanga te Gamecube?
