Why did Nintendo decide to combine household and portable gaming?
We didn't just want a successor to the Wii U or the 3DS. So our original concept was, "What kind of new experience can we create?" And what we showed this time was an object that's both stationary and one you can take outside to play with anyone you want.
Will you discontinue the 3DS?
Thanks to our software, the 3DS hardware is still growing. So that business still has momentum.
And certainly rather than being cannibalized by the Switch, we think the 3DS can continue in its own form.
Will Switch have VR capabilities? Are you developing VR that will connect to Switch?
If you asked as if this might be possible in the future, certainly we can't say no. In terms of how it can be used for gaming, it's something we must consider. It depends on the system specifications. I can't say that we have no interest in VR because VR offers new ways of playing, but that depends on what kind of software can be played. But what kind of software works, that's only something you only know once you actually experience it. And our games are ones that are usually played for a long time.
