Repeating the companys E3 statement that its next home system will provide a totally new gaming experience, Senior Managing Director Yoshiro Mori stated, This wont be a continuation, but rather something entirely different. To back the claim, Nintendo announced its plans to increase R&D spending 27% to 20 billion yen for Nintendos fiscal year (ending March 31), primarily for the Nintendo DS and Revolution.
Nintendo also disclosed Nintendo DS launch numbers: Nintendo plans to ship 3.5 million Nintendo DS units within the fiscal year.
