Bowser’s full comments can be found below.
As we enter the seventh year of the Nintendo Switch, sales remain strong. I think we still have a very, very strong lineup to come. As Mr. Furukawa (Nintendo President Shuntaro Furukawa) recently stated, we are entering uncharted territory with the platform. It’s exciting to see that the demand is still there. So there’s nothing to announce about future consoles or devices, but we’re still very optimistic about the Nintendo Switch.
I have to be careful what I personally want to see (on a new Switch). But what I can share is that one of the reasons why, even as we enter its seventh year, we’re pretty confident the Switch can perform solidly for years to come is that it’s is still really that device you can play on. in different ways, at home, on the go. One of the things we always look at is how we can surprise and delight. How can we introduce new unique ways to play? It is always in front of our mind.
