Bolstered by Switch 2 sales and Zelda: Ocarina of Time remake’s reveal, Nintendo of America COO promises: “This is just the beginning”
AI-summarised brief · reviewed before publication
Nintendo’s Switch 2 has become the fastest‑selling console in U.S. history, overtaking the PS4, and has neared 20 million units sold within a year, making it the second‑fastest overall. The momentum is reinforced by strong first‑party titles such as “Pokopia” and the upcoming remake of “The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time.” In a Variety interview, Nintendo of America COO Devon Pritchard said the company is only at the beginning of the Switch 2 era and highlighted expanding film collaborations, including a Zelda movie slated for release in April and ongoing work with Sony Pictures. He emphasized Nintendo’s focus on creating lasting, cross‑generational experiences rather than merely competing for consumer attention in an increasingly crowded media landscape.
