The following comes from an Asahi Shimbun interview with Nintendo president Tatsumi Kimishima, as translated by NE...
- some people feel that Switch is expensive when compared to other gaming systems.
- since the features are different, you can not simply compare them
- he thinks those opinions are not necessarily the majority
- Nintendo is putting in effort to reduce costs, so the company may be able to consider a price drop in the future
- Nintendo is strongly interested in and studying VR
- they must develop software that matches up well with the technology while players also need to be able to play long
- if a solution to these issues is found, they’ll move forward with VR
- VR might be replaced with other things, so it might be difficult if it’s that far in the future
- VR fever might calm down and other technology could steal its thunder
- if the momentum is lost, it might be meaningless for Nintendo to approach it
- if VR is going to be utilized, it would seem that Switch is the platform for that approach
