Nintendo Stresses Urgency of ‘Offering Unique Propositions’ with Switch Successor
09.02.2024 - 22:37 / comingsoon.net / Shuntaro Furukawa / Nintendo
Fans know little, which the internet has dubbed the Switch 2. However, company president Shuntaro Furukawa spoke about the next console during a recent Q&A with investors. While Nintendo does not consider its situation “totally secure,” the company is committed to offering things that its competitors do not.
“We approach our business every day with a profound sense of urgency,” said Furukawa, according to VGC’s translation. The Nintendo president explained how the transition to a new console generation is difficult. This is something the company has sometimes struggled with in the past. “We have experienced significant challenges following successful platforms multiple times, so we never consider our current situation to be totally secure.”
The most recent example of Nintendo struggling with a new console is the Switch’s predecessor, the Wii U. The Nintendo Wii outsold both the PS3 and Xbox 360 and kicked off something of a motion control arms race. However, the Wii U’s poor marketing, lackluster launch titles, and technical issues resulted in it becoming the company’s second-worst-selling console. Nintendo obviously does not want a repeat of that disaster.
“Furthermore,” the Nintendo executive went on to say, “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.”
Nintendo hasn’t said much about the Switch 2 — or whatever name it settles on for the next console. One analyst believes that the Switch 2 will innovate on but not revolutionize the technology. However, that is ultimately just his opinion. Meanwhile, rumors suggest that a reveal may come as soon as next month.

Did Latest Nintendo Direct Hint At Switch Successor Announcement?
Video gamers are almost “trained” to look for “tiny details” about things they see or hear within trailers, reveals, and even the games themselves. After all, Easter Eggs are everywhere, and sometimes, the smallest details can reveal certain things about the project itself. It’s true that sometimes gamers get a bit TOO invested in the small details and make false assumptions, but regarding the latest Nintendo Direct, some fans feel they’ve seen their first tease about the Switch successor, and it’s not where you think it might be. In this case, it wasn’t about the games that were shown but the animations of the Direct itself.

Did Nintendo Switch Successor Rumors Cause Stock Price To Drop?
Nintendo is a company that has always played things “close to the vest,” and that’s helped it more times than not over the years. Yes, they do occasionally have leaks, mainly from a certain fighting game, but most times, they’re able to keep things under wraps. When that happens, “insiders” will come out of the woodwork and make bold, wide-sweeping guesses as to what is happening with The Big N and what they’ll do next on the hardware and software side. That brings us to the latest reports about the Nintendo Switch Successor. No, not “rumors” about it, reports because this one has to deal with The Big N’s stock prices.
