Vi ved med sikkerhed at Nintendo kommer til at løfte sløret for deres næste konsol inden alt for længe, men hvordan kommer denne nye Switch til at eksistere i forlængelse af den eksisterende Switch? Nintendo har tidligere haft svært ved disse overgange mellem generationer, særligt mellem Wii og Wii U, så hvad gør de anderledes denne gang?
Det blev Nintendo CEO Shuntaro Furukawa spurgt om ved deres seneste finansbriefing, og han har lovet "unique propositions" til at sikre en blød overgang, men kommer ind på hvad der menes:
"We approach our business every day with a profound sense of urgency. The generational transition of platforms in the dedicated gaming console business is never easy. We have experienced significant challenges following successful platforms multiple times, so we never consider our current situation to be totally secure. Furthermore, as you pointed out, our business is always exposed to great competition. From a broader entertainment perspective, not only video games but also various forms of leisure are competitors in this industry. In this environment, there's an increasing need, more than ever before, to continue offering unique propositions to become a brand that customers choose."
Nogen mener at han her taler om bagudkompatibilitet eller lettilgængelige udviklingsværktøjer, men hvad tror du?
