Nintendo Corporate Management Policy Briefing summary
Many thanks to Takashi Mochizuki for the original Tweets. I’ve since replaced with official President Tatsumi Kimishima translations:-
● “Our basic strategy remains unchanged. We seek to
expand the number of people who have access to
Nintendo IP.”
● On Pokémon Sun Moon “global sell-through (volume sold from retailers to consumers) has exceeded 13 million units and
continues to grow.”
● “In addition, we
found that about 17% of Pokémon Sun Moon players had no previous Nintendo 3DS Pokémon titles in their activity log”
● “We will continue to introduce new titles that players
can enjoy for the Nintendo 3DS family of systems.
“
● “We plan to continue
both businesses (Nintendo 3DS and Nintendo Switch) separately and in parallel.”
● “We significantly decreased
the shipping volume for Wii U this fiscal year.”
● “Nintendo Classic Mini:
Family Computer global sell-through
1.5 million units… we are working to
increase production.
”
● On Super
Mario Run: “downloads have maintained a strong pace, and as of
today the application has reached 78 million
downloads.”
● “We will also hold
periodic events where golden Goombas appear in
World Tour in order to create buzz.”
● “We have revised the release
timeframe for our Animal Crossing smart-device
title… so we can
prepare all the content we wish to include and
properly support the distribution of this application.”
● “As we have stated before, unlike Wii U, the
Nintendo Switch price point was set to ensure that
the hardware is not basically sold at a loss.”
● “We are continuously producing in earnest, and there
are no changes to our plans to ship two million
hardware units worldwide by the end of March 2017.”
● "At the
presentation, we announced that there were over 80
titles in development from more than 50 software
publishers, but that number has now climbed to
over 100 titles from more than 70 publishers.”
● “Finally, I would like to cover our sales company that
is planned to start operations in Japan on April 3. It will
operate under the name Nintendo Sale Co., Ltd.”
