GAME boss sees Switch launch as a major event

GN Version 5.0

Coming from GAME boss Martyn Gibbs...

In terms of looking forward, we are positive because we have new consoles coming to market. We have PS4 Pro in November and Project Scorpio for peak next year. And then we have the new Nintendo NX console, which on the back of seeing the appetite around Pokémonafter the success of Pokémon Go, we see that as being a major event.

We don't have any numbers around NX in our budgets yet, because we don't know enough about the product. But when Super Mario Run comes to mobile... if that does for Mario what Pokémon Go did for the Pokémon franchise, then there will be numerous things that we can capitalise on in the market.
