While analysts have said that investors might have started believing that Nintendo Switch 2 sales might be slowing down, Nintendo president Shuntaro Furukawa believes the opposite. During a Q&A following the company’s recent earnings report, Furukawa spoke about how the early success of The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time Remake is evidence of the fact that the Nintendo Switch 2 is just getting started. He also pointed to the success of titles like Pokemon Pokopia to make his point.
“Adoption has progressed smoothly over the roughly one and a half years since Nintendo Switch 2 launched last June, and the installed base now exceeds 25 million units. At the end of last year’s holiday season, we explained that there were regional differences in how well our expectations were met. But the March release of Pokemon Pokopia acted as a driver of global hardware sales, and we entered the new fiscal year with good momentum.”
As for Ocarina of Time Remake, he noted that its release has been “very positive” for the company and that it has already “contributed to strong sales in various regions.” Furukawa went on to say that the game is already “off to a great start”,
