Nintendo president Tatsumi Kimishima recently gave a big interview with Japanese outletMainichi (picked up by Forbes), where he outlines and details his plans for the company during the next few years. According to the interview, Nintendo’s new console, for now known as the NX, will be a departure from existing game hardware, and the mobile game developer DeNA will be involved in some way.
The writer from Forbes, Ollie Barder, notes however, that DeNA is likely to be involved with designing the network infrastructure of the NX, as they traditionally aren’t involved with hardware manufacturing.
Furthermore, Kimishima states that finetuning the company’s business model (by moving into the mobile market among other initiatives) should raise the company’s operating profits to 100 billion yen a year, or around $855 million, which is over four times the amount Nintendo earned last year.
Kimishima says, that they’ll achieve this by utilising their expansive and popular character roster in a variety of ways, like theme park attractions and mobile games.
