While a few analysts have been down on the Wii U, Ubisoft seems upbeat about Nintendo’s next console, going as far as to say it will “change the video game industry”.

“We feel this console is coming with very innovative features that will change the video game industry and we want to be a part of that,” said chairman and CEO of Ubisoft, Yves Guillemot in an interview with Gamasutra.

“I love that you have a screen very close to you,” he added. “You can get information and send it as well. But you don’t have to learn too many things.”

With the Wii U having been announced, Guillemot believes Microsoft and Sony will follow soon.

“I think it’s sending the message that the new transition is going to happen – and we’re going to have new machines coming soon,” added Guillemot.

Rumours of a new Xbox launching in the next few years are rife. There’s also speculation that MS is likely to reveal the Xbox 720 at E3 2012.
