Nintendo has been dominating software and hardware sales around the world lately, but the real test is expected to be when Sony and Microsoft introduce their next generation of hardware. Both of these new programs are scheduled to arrive later this year, sometime during the holidays.
So, what kind of impact will this next-generation show have on Switch and its current appeal? In an interview with Nintendo All recently, Vice President of Software Ruud van de Moosdijk gave an insight, saying he didn't think it would be a concern, because switchch itself is the size of a video game in the arena:
In my opinion the Nintendo switchch, like the Wii before, is available in the market and will continue to do well even after the release of PS5 and Xbox Series X. Like many times before Nintendo's confusion they have some of their uniqueness does not depend on having the fastest processor or the largest memory.
As the Vice President explains, there is really no need for Nintendo – or fans – to worry, as they are busy doing their thing while Sony and Microsoft are focusing more on helping graphics and other useful things like memory refresh.
The Deputy President even went on to say how he always "smiled" when he heard someone say that Nintendo's days were numbered:
That is why I always smile when I hear someone say that Nintendo is made.
Software Software has worked on many Switch ports in the past, including Ni no Kuni: The Wrath of the White Throne in 2019.
Moosdijk's comments about Swichi doing its thing are underscored by the fact that Nintendo is about creating something unique (instead of the same), as former Nintendo US President Reggie Fils-Aimé explained to IGN last October:
This renaming focus applies to all Nintendo and sales, marketing, operations, and even finance. Everyone challenged themselves to Build Something Different.
Nintendo's President, Shuntaro Furukawa, earlier said the aim is to keep Swingch's business running as long as possible, by releasing a continuous stream of exciting topics and improving its digital content and network services. The goal is to extend its lifespan and maintain sales over the long term.
By continually challenging the limits of what can be done with Nintendo Switch in a different way than the Wii, we hope it will keep the sale more for long.
Last year, the Japanese company released the switchch Lite and for a while there were rumors about an upgraded & # 39; Pro & # 39; floating model floating around – which could help remind consumers of its existence and others options where next-generation systems are from Microsoft and Sony.
What do you think? Should Nintendo keep an eye on the following plans, or do you agree with the Software Software VP and think it can continue to do well by doing its thing. Tell us in the comments below.
