Nintendo hits snooze button on its sleep tracking gadget

More than a year after Nintendo announced it was developing a fun game-y spin on sleep tracking gadgets, the company is putting the initiative on hold indefinitely.

Nintendo originally planned to launch the device called QOL Sensor — a fatigue- and sleep-monitoring device that goes on your nightstand (abbreviated for "quality of life") — in the first quarter of 2016. But company president Tatsumi Kimishima gave an update about the product during an investors briefing and said the gadget was no longer in the works, according to a Wired report.
