SIE Worldwide Studios Chairman Shawn Layden, during his DICE keynote earlier today, Shawn spoke on their progress and stance in the industry.
In his keynote speech, Shawn Layden praised Nintendo for their efforts, mentioning ‘Nintendo took a massive risk when they brought (Nintendo Switch) this to the market.’ Considering Nintendo Switch is still very young within it’s overall life-time, it’s become the best-selling console for 2018 in the U.S., reminding industry veterans to ‘never underestimate Nintendo… All of us are better for their efforts.’
Here’s his full statement, courtesy of IGN:
“The best-selling console of 2018 in the U.S. was… The Nintendo Switch. Nintendo took a massive risk when they brought this to the market. People thought Nintendo might one day be out of the hardware business. People would say things like ‘kids play games on mobile phones and tablets, dedicated portable gaming is dead and gone.’ But as I’ve said before: never underestimate Nintendo… All of us are better for their efforts.”
We’re glad to hear Nintendo is very much appreciated across all mediums and companies including PlayStation. Hopefully with this acknowledgment, other companies will shift their perspective on gaming and business, helping and unifying players across platforms.
We look forward to the future of gaming and Nintendo. Let us know what you think? For all things Nintendo, stay tuned to NinMobileNews.
