Nintendo has always been known for its hardware performance being inferior to Xbox or PlayStation, but its product library is always full of innovation.Shuhei Yoshida, former president of Sony Interactive Entertainment Global Studio, recently said that Nintendo seems to be losing its unique identity on the latest Switch 2.

Yoshida: Focus on gaming rather than hardware

In the Easy Allies podcast, Yoshida Shuhei said when talking about Switch 2 that Nintendo has always focused on the fun and gameplay rather than hardware technical specifications, but the Switch 2 seems to focus more on the latter.He also specifically mentioned that this time Nintendo even arranged a technician to introduce the new console, which is different from the past.

"In my opinion, Nintendo is losing their character. In the past, they always created a stunning new experience through the design of hardware and games. But the Switch 2, as everyone expected, is just an upgraded version of the Switch - a larger screen, a stronger processor, a higher resolution, a support for 4K and 120 frames... They even had hardware personnel open the show, just like other platforms are used to."

The former PlayStation executive further pointed out that the Switch 2 approach is no different from other companies.He added that if the player’s main gaming platform is only Nintendo, it would be great to have a game like Elden Fargo on Switch 2 for the first time.But for core players with multiple platforms (such as PlayStation, Xbox, and PC), they look forward to Nintendo's own games rather than third-party porting works.

Yoshida said: "Switch 2 has a stronger performance, which is great for players who only use Nintendo consoles. They can play a masterpiece like "Eldon Farring" for the first time. But for us multi-platform players, the third-party games they show...theoretically, it's amazing to be able to play these industry masterpieces on Nintendo hardware, but the actual content is a bit confusing. Because everyone, especially industry insiders and publishers, must know that last week's launch event will be one of the most watched events this year, with millions of viewers watching. This is a great stage for announcing or launching new games, but most of the displays are porting old games. I'm not sure if this is Nintendo's strategy or the choice of third-party manufacturers."

Overall, Yoshida believes that the Switch 2 upgrade is satisfactory, but combined with Nintendo's history, he feels that the company should focus more on its own games than on third-party ports.Most players buy Nintendo consoles to experience Nintendo's exclusive works, while other games are more played on PC, PlayStation or Xbox.Yoshida obviously holds the same view, so he may not fully agree with the overall presentation of the Switch 2 launch conference.
