Shigeru Miyamoto: "Jeg håber ikke at Nintendo inddrages i den såkaldte konsolkrig"

Nintendo har det sidste lange, lange stykke tid eksisteret i en slags separat virkelighed, og påvirkes ikke rigtig af de markedskræfter der ellers har vendt hele spilbranchen på hovedet. Men vil den kommende Switch 2 konkurrere mere direkte med andre maskiner på markedet, eller vil de fortsætte med at bo inde i den separate bobbel?

Det er umiddelbart svært at sige, men i et interview med Famitsu siger den ikoniske designer Shigreu Miyamoto, at han krydser fingre for at Nintendo afholder sig fra at konkurrere direkte, og vil udvikle sig i Nintendos unikke retning:

"If we are to preserve all of Nintendo's past assets and have people understand what Nintendo is through them, then it would be great if not only the employees but also the people who have known Nintendo for three generations could see it and understand what Nintendo is. By doing so, I hope Nintendo won't be dragged into the so-called 'console wars' that focus on high specs and performance of game consoles (laughs). Nintendo will continue to create things that are uniquely Nintendo using various technologies available today, not just in games but also in videos and various entertainment content. I thought it would be a good opportunity to make people understand that, and that's why we made this."

Vi afventer fortsat en afsløring af Switch 2 med stor spænding.
