Just days ahead of the launch of Grand Theft Auto 6, Take-Two Interactive CEO has nothing but praise for Nintendo for its release of The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time Remake. In an interview with GamesBeat, Zelnick was asked about whether Ocarina of Time Remake is seen as a competitor at Take-Two, to which he responded by saying that “It’s terrific, and they should be very proud of the title.”
He went on to note that Take-Two is essentially competing “against everything and nothing” due to its presence in the larger entertainment industry. This is due to the fact that customers tend to have many options for how they might want to spend their time, which can range from playing some games to watching a movie. He even brings up a direct comparison with food, noting that it is a must-have for people, while entertainment isn’t a must-have.
“In the entertainment business, you compete against everything and nothing. Everything because there’s so many ways consumers can spend their time, and nothing because if there’s nothing good out there, people don’t need to consume any of it.
