Iwata - POSA cards with AR features have sold 1.3 million, NFC payments still being considered
“Photos” series POSA cards you can see here are “playable” POSA cards. With them, you can take AR (Augmented Reality) photos of yourself with Mario characters after downloading a free application for the AR photo function of Nintendo 3DS. POSA cards have become popular in Japan, and have already sold no less than 1.3 million units. We will continue to make the e-money card itself something enjoyable for our consumers.
As stated before, Wii U has NFC (Near Field Communication) functionality and we are considering using JR East's “Suica,” which is the most popular public transport e-money card in Japan, to make payments on this platform. - Satoru Iwata
