"Nintendo President Emphasizes Unique Strategies for Overcoming Generational Transition Challenges"

Nintendo president Shuntaro Furukawa emphasizes the importance of Nintendo Accounts in maintaining long-term connections with customers, including potential use in future hardware migrations and reengaging with customers who have been away from Nintendo systems. He highlights the unique integration of handheld and home console platforms in the Nintendo Switch, leading to a longer software development focus and a different hardware lifecycle approach. Furukawa affirms that the dedicated game console business, integrating hardware and software, remains the best approach for providing unique entertainment offerings, and Nintendo will continue research and development based on this policy.

Nintendo's Next Console to Use "Nintendo Account" System for Smooth Transition from Switch.

Nintendo plans to smoothly transition players from the Switch to its next console using Nintendo Accounts, according to company president Shuntaro Furukawa. The move will be similar to Sony and Microsoft's use of PlayStation Network and Xbox Live accounts across multiple generations of hardware. Nintendo Accounts were only introduced with the Switch, and the transition from the previous Nintendo Network ID was considered far from smooth. Nintendo currently has over 290 million Nintendo Accounts in use across console and mobile, providing a strong foundation for its next generation infrastructure.
