Dear Reader:
Nintendo has started thinking about their next console, considering various tech, pondering release timing
This blurb of info comes from Nintendo's president, Tatsumi Kimishima. It was part of the massive interview round-up, but I felt these tidbits were worth a post on their own. In the bulletpoints below, Kimishima was asked about Nintendo's follow-up console after Switch.
– Nintendo has started thinking about it
– However, consumer preferences always change, and technology also continues to evolve
– Ex: AI has been used more often, such as the AI smart speaker
– Nintendo has to keep thinking about whether to include such technology until the very end
– If Nintendo has already decided right now on how the next game console would be like, they would no longer be able to take action
– Nintendo needs to think about the release timing in a flexible way
