[Wii U] Sony's Jack Tretton wishes Nintendo every success with the Wii U

Nintendo's launched the Wii U in America, launching a new console is never easy no matter how experienced the company. Sony are no stranger to difficult launches after soldiering through both the PlayStation 3 and PlayStation Vita launches.

President and CEO of Sony Computer Entertainment America, Jack Tretton, has wished Nintendo every success with the launch of the Wii U. Tretton wished Nintendo luck in the latest Official PlayStation Blogcast. When he was asked for his thoughts on the system he had the following to say:

"Rising tide lifts all boats. Any time there is attention to the industry, any time there is attention to gaming it’s a good thing for us.

It takes a village of creativity to ultimately push technological boundaries. I think Nintendo has a great heritage in the business, they certainly surprised a lot of people with the success of the Wii. They’ve got great heritage in their first party development, and I’m interested to see what happens with it. But I think anything that draws attention to gaming is good for companies like us that live and die in this business, so I wish them a lot of success."

Its nice to hear such kind words from one competitor to another, Tretton continued on to talk about how he feels that the PlayStation 3 is the state of the art console but that's his job.

I'm sure there are plenty who would echo Tretton's well-wishing for the Wii U.

Thanks for pointing this out Nintendo Life.
