The generational transition of platforms in the dedicated game console business is never easy. We have experienced significant challenges after several successful platforms, so we never consider our current situation to be completely secure.

Because our products are not everyday, we quickly lose people’s attention if they are not attractive Therefore, continuing to strive to make Nintendo feel close beyond dedicated game consoles, growing customers who support Nintendo intellectual property in the long term, and maintaining connections with our customers is critical.
