Nintendo’s new gaming system is a time when consoles are less important than ever.

Sony’s PlayStation 5 was released in 2020 and sold fewer units than its predecessors the same year later. Microsoft’s Analysts say De emphasizes its gaming console Promote a message that gamers can play Xbox games on phones, smart TVs, VR headsets and other hardware.

At the same time, the company likes Nvidia,,,,, Amazon,,,,, Google Microsoft has made substantial investments in “cloud streaming”, which allows users to rent high-power servers to run games in the cloud. This allows gamers to play games on a web browser rather than the console they own.

For example, Google, Close its cloud streaming service In 2023. Additionally, more and more games are being played on mobile phones and tablets, and Apple and Google have cut game sales.

Nintendo continues to reverse these trends.

Rather than competing in producing higher prospects and more realistic graphics, these graphics create larger game files and require faster hardware, they double in terms of color, cartoon graphics and their exclusive characters and franchises. These include Mario, Zelda and Pokemon. These characters are increasingly beyond games and movies and other media – the “Super Mario Bros. Movie” was released in 2023 and plans to release the Legend of Zelda in 2027.

Japanese companies have experiment With mobile games, its console is still the only place to play the new champion. Nintendo regularly releases experiences that require running other physical parts, such as the cardboard structure of Nintendo Labo, which turns the first switch into a virtual reality experience for children.

Nintendo shares are trading in Japan, with nearly 28% trading volume so far this year, and Switch 2 is expected. The company’s revenue in fiscal 2024 fiscal 2024 was 1.67 trillion yen (US$11 billion), which ended in May.
