Nintendo on Switch’s strengths and maximizing life cycle
Posted on 4 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in General Nintendo, News, Switch | 0 comments
Nintendo’s 80th Annual General Meeting of Shareholders, which was held a few days ago, brought about one question regarding the company’s next system. President Shuntaro Furukawa and Ko Shiota (director, senior executive officer) naturally didn’t have much to say, and decided to speak about Switch instead.
Furukawa mentioned that Switch’s momentum is increasing thanks to the existence of the regular Switch and Switch Lite as well as having all development focused on a single platform. Ultimately, Nintendo hopes to “extend the life cycle of Nintendo Switch while maximizing such advantages.”
Shiota mentioned that being able to play games on a TV or the actual Switch screen allows users to experience a great increase in “the opportunities for gameplay in various scenes in their lives”. Nintendo has “made many discoveries about where a dedicated video game platform can fit into a consumer’s daily life,” and plans to “utilize these experiences in carefully considering the form our future game consoles will take.”
Here are the full comments from Furukawa and Shiota:
