Nintendo Switch part of bigger hardware plans

Nintendo Switch part of bigger hardware plans
  • Nintendo's (OTCPK:NTDOY +5.8%) new Switch console won't stand alone, but be part of a bigger ecosystem with more accessories and integrating more technologies, President Tatsumi Kimishima said today.
  • The company will announce pricing and a specific launch date for the console formerly known as "NX" on Jan. 13.
  • Kimishima -- who took over last year after the death of Satoru Iwata -- said he was "surprised" by the stock's decline after a three-minute teaser video showed off the console's name and form factor for the first time, and said "By no means was that everything" to the system.
  • Nintendo made a deliberate decision not to talk about software titles so far, he says. "One thing we still can’t show is the software lineup. We want people to touch the device in January and experience the software for themselves."
  • He also declined to get more specific on sales forecasts aside from the early one where it plans to sell 2M units in the first month after it begins selling in March.
