- Nintendo ‘losing their identity’ according to former PlayStation Boss Shohi Yoshida
- Yoshida suggested that Nintendo is more focused on hardware than innovation
- He says the switches that offer third -party titles for new players are “interesting” but for those who already play the same game on multiple platforms
Former Playstation executive Shohi Yoshida believes that “Nintendo is losing his identity” by focusing more on the hardware of Switch 2 instead of innovation.
In a recent interview with Easy ally After the Nintendo Switch 2 Direct, where we finally received a deep look at the incoming console, Yoshida shared his thoughts on the revelation, and called it a “mixed message of Nintendo”.
“In a sense, I think Nintendo is losing his identity in my opinion,” said Yoshida. “To me, they are always about to create some new experience, such as designing hardware and games together, (a) amazing new experience. But Switch 2, as we all expect, what’s better switch, okay?”
Yoshida explained that when Nintendo has talked about his revelations, he always works differently, but now it is compared to other companies like Sony and Microsoft, usually focusing on hardware details.
“This is a big screen, a more powerful processor, high resolution, 4K 120fps. Even the hardware person started streams like other platforms.
“And since it’s a better switch, the basic basis of the entire switch 2 is, ‘we have improved things’, and that is what other companies have been doing all the time.”

“Of course, it is a more powerful switch, so it’s great if your gaming was just on Nintendo Hardware,” said Yoshida. “It’s the first chance to play amazing games for you like Alden color. But for us, such as, the basic concerts, who play multiple hardware and games at the PlayStation, Xbox, PC, performed these games – especially from the third party … in theory, it is surprising that adding all these stars in the industry on Nintendo Hardware, however, showed them. “
