 Well, first of all, I cannot and will not comment on these revelations. One thing that is certain at present is that we will help users quickly migrate to the next generation of game consoles through the Nintendo Account system.

 In the past, every device we transitioned to had a completely new account system. Creating a Nintendo Account can help players migrate to a new platform, simplifying the process.

 Our goal is to reduce issues in the transition period between two generations of products. I can't speak to the possible features of the new platform, but the Nintendo Account is a solid foundation for this communication as we make the transition.

In an interview with Nihon Keizai Shimbun, Nintendo President Shuntaro Furukawa said: There is currently no comment on the specifics of subsequent models, but they are still continuing to conduct hardware research and development, and will continue to focus on until March 2024.

Regarding the life cycle of Nintendo Switch, Furukawa Shuntaro replied: We are still developing Nintendo Switch software for the next fiscal year (before March 2025).

 While the momentum is still maintained, we will be committed to continuing to expand the Switch business. This fiscal year, we hope that the momentum of "Zelda" and movies will continue, and we will have a successful year-end business war. As for hardware, it will not only maximize new demand, but also expand the demand for "second units" and replacements.

Regarding the increase of developers in the headquarters, he said:

 The resources required for individual game development are constantly increasing, and we must strengthen our own development system. If you want to develop a game that meets Nintendo's expectations, it's not just about increasing the number of people. Therefore, rather than shifting resources outside the company, we must strengthen internal development resources that deeply understand Nintendo's DNA and brand philosophy.

 Although I do not deny the usefulness of M&A (mergers and acquisitions), if an organization that does not understand Nintendo’s philosophy joins, it may not produce the expected results. On the other hand, if there is a company with a similar development concept to Nintendo, we hope to establish various cooperative relationships instead of simply acquiring them.
