The year 2020 will end in style with the launch of PlayStation 5 y Xbox Series X. The arrival of the new generation will mean a boost in the industry and will once again excite users eager for new consoles. Sony and Microsoft are already warming up for launches, but what about Nintendo?
Switch will remain Switch
In a call dedicated to investors, the president of Nintendo, Shuntaro Furukawa, announced that the company would go into details in the next fiscal period, although he had no problem warning that in the coming months competitors will apply major changes in their business strategies. .
Obviously Furukawa was referring to the launch of the new consoles of Next Generation, something that is of great interest to users and that worries Nintendo investors, fearful that the brand could be affected by the new era of consoles. Does Nintendo have any plans to counter the arrival of the new consoles? Is Nintendo afraid of this new cycle?
The answer to these questions could not be clearer, and that is that the president has confirmed that they believe that the new commercial trends of the other companies will not have a significant impact on their business. Such confidence has a clear explanation. Nintendo has spent years differentiating itself from the rest by showing a completely different product and with a very marked style. While Sony and Microsoft are committed to raw power and next-generation games, the Nintendo console has been characterized by continuing to rely on classic titles reinvented for the time, something that users have always received with open arms.
Nintendo doesn't care about the new generation
And to show a button. More than 52 million of consoles sold since its launch in 2017, Nintendo is completely following its roll. With this figure, it is more than understandable that the brand fully trusts its product, especially when it comes to something completely different from what the competition proposes. Furukawa added that Nintendo Switch it is in the middle of its life cycle, so we would still have a console until 2023, at which time we should already think about a new Nintendo model.
So, how is Nintendo going to continue taking care of the relationship with its users with the same console from three years ago? Obviously he will do it with what he knows how to do best: games. The question is what it has prepared for this for this 2020. With the launch of Animal Crossing: New Horizons in March, we will have to see if the next Nintendo Direct does not clear up any doubts and we can get an idea of how the company will close the year. And it is that no matter how sure they are, PS5 and Xbox Series X will take much of the ground.
