Nintendo’s February financial briefing gave a lot of insight into the sales of hardware and software during the past months. However, the official report they released only provided the more technical details of the company’s finances and not what was discussed between investors.
Well now, Nintendo has released a summary of the Q&A conference call that Nintendo president Shuntaro Furukawa had with investors, and it includes more general details of what was discussed.
Investors brought up questions relating to new Switch hardware releasing, the possibility of the Switch passing the Wii’s sales, and the impact of Animal Crossing: New Horizons on hardware sales. They also had questions about the Switch’s appeal in foreign markets (such as China) and how Nintendo will expand the Switch’s player count heading forward.
