It's been a good year for Nintendo, as we've already noted in today's article, but Harrison admits there's one thing he'd like to see more of on the Nintendo DS handheld game device in the United States market.
You see, in Japan, some titles have already cracked straight out of the games category altogether. There are titles for the DS that teach cooking, English and etiquette, for example. In the U.S. a brain stimulating game called Brain Age has been a success (a sequel is on the way), but Harrison said he'd like to push for more titles on the mobile device that aren't strictly games.
"We haven't done that as well as we should," he said.
