During an recent interview with IGN at E3 2019, Nintendo of America president Doug Bowser explained how Nintendo’s focus is on current-gen, not next-gen. “Before we talk about next-gen, let’s talk about current-gen,” Bowser said. “In the US, the momentum has been strong for the last five months or so. We’ve been the number one selling console.”
“There are people that are always thinking about what’s next. But in a way, and the team we have here, we’re thinking about what we have right now. Obviously, there’s a lot of anticipated announcements that may happen here at E3 from some of the other manufacturers. But for us, we’re just entering our third year on Nintendo Switch. We’ve got considerable momentum.”
“There are teams that are always looking at that next technology, that next capability. We are using the cloud, however. So if you think about Nintendo Switch and Nintendo Switch Online – you can save your data to the cloud and transfer that data between devices for particular games.”
“We also have the Nintendo Entertainment System on the Nintendo Switch Online where you can pull down games from a wide variety. I know over 40 games are on that catalog. So we’re leveraging [the cloud] in different ways, but we really look at Nintendo Switch as being a great gaming device.”
