This information comes from Nintendo of America president Reggie Fils-Aime…

“Our focus is making sure we launch great games — making sure that we continue to support not only Nintendo Switch, but also the Nintendo 3DS family of consoles. f we do our jobs with great games as well as making sure there’s enough hardware out in the marketplace, then the stock price will take care of itself.”

“Our demographic is much wider. We want consumers from 5 to 95 playing our games. And by doing that we go down a path that makes our IP much more accessible. We’re much more family-friendly. We have a range of content for the most core gamer to a child who is wanting to get into gaming for the first time. So it’s a different approach for us, and that approach is winning.”

“We are fortunate that we have had a series of phenomenons. Whether it’s been Pokemon Go, or our NES classic that we launched last holiday season, and now Nintendo Switch. What we want to do is create these games and these new executions that the consumers feel they absolutely have to go buy.”

This information comes from Ubisoft CEO Yves Guillemot…

“What is fantastic about working with Nintendo and with Miyamoto in particular is that you are working with the best. It’s easy to work with the smartest people in the industry and they have a great understanding of what works and we are very often on the same page about how to solve a problem.

I travel a lot for work, but thanks to the Switch I’ve been able to play Zelda. It’s a great game and we can learn a lot about how we make games by looking at what Nintendo has done.”

The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim on Switch won’t be published by Bethesda, apparently. Nintendo’s site lists itself as the actual publisher. It’s a bit interesting to see that Bethesda isn’t handling it directly.

This information comes from Xbox boss Phil Spencer…

“I think there are learnings for us in terms of control and other things Switch has done. They’ve effectively been able to take a controller experience and add it to a screen so games don’t have to be modified purely to touch in order to work. I use my Switch mainly in undocked mode. I don’t really think about it as a television console, though it works and I think that functionality is great, I just usually use it remotely.

“But fundamentally, I think Nintendo is just a great gaming company that learns, refines, stays at it, and has a great first-party to support that. And that’s something we should all admire and applaud.”
