Reggie Fil-Aimes must be very proud of himself. Ever since the release of Nintendo's top-selling console, the Wii, things have been looking up for the president of Nintendo America and his video gaming empire. Now, with the opening of a new sales and marketing office in Redwood Shores, Nintendo is hoping to expand and build on their growing success.In an interview conducted with Reggie Fil-Aimes, he was quite confident about the ever growing success of the Wii console. He also addresses the issue of the global shortage of the console to consumers everywhere, especially now that Christmas is just around the corner.
He also dismissed the recent release of Microsoft's Halo 3 as something his company shouldn't be worried about. He was quite self assured with the fact Nintendo had its own series of games that were providing the needed sales to cater to the different parts of the consumer mix.
He explained the "Halo factor" saying this:
Will they sell a lot of software? Certainly. Will it sell hardware? I think it's an open question. Why? Because I think that the Halo 3 consumer already has the hardware, because they're playing Bioshock and Crackdown and a variety of games that are, in the end, quite similar: first-person shooter experience, multiplayer capable online. Tell me what's new?

Then again, A good FPS with online functionality. That would be a very new idea for a Nintendo console.
