It\u2019s not technology for technology\u2019s sake. It\u2019s how specifically can technology enhance a gameplay experience. And then where do you apply that technology? Do you want to apply it on current existing hardware or platforms, or do you want to wait for the next platform? And then what\u2019s the right gameplay experience with that? There\u2019s a host of factors that goes into it, and it\u2019s something we\u2019re always looking at.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Bowser may have sidestepped the question about new hardware a bit, but he went on to say, \u201cAs we enter into our fifth year, Nintendo Switch really is redefining what a console life cycle can look like, and the vibrancy of that overall life cycle with a strong cadence of content,\u201d Bowser said.<\/p>\n<p>Nintendo might not need to release new hardware anytime soon. To date, the Switch has sold 85 million consoles as of April, and remains one of Nintendo most successful pieces of hardware. Does that mean the company won\u2019t release a Switch upgrade in the future? No. The real question is when? And the answer to that is anyone\u2019s guess (so go for it).<\/p>\n<p>For more on what Bowser thinks of Nintendo as a whole be sure to read The Washington Post\u2019s full article.<\/p>\n<p><i>[Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonpost.com\/video-games\/2021\/06\/18\/nintendo-doug-bowser-switch-interview\/\">The Washington Post<\/a>]<\/i><\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gameinformer.com\/2021\/06\/18\/nintendo-president-comments-on-new-switch-hardware\">Source<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Rumors have circulated for months and months that Nintendo is working on some kind of updated Switch hardware, a &#8220;Nintendo Switch Pro&#8221; that would feature a bigger screen and be capable of outputting in\u00a04K resolution.
