Nintendo har haft makalösa framgångar med Switch-konsolen som bara fortsätter skörda nya försäljningsrekord. Redan efter ett år på marknaden har den passerat Xbox One på flera marknader såsom Spanien och Italien. Skaparen av den allra första Xboxen, Ed Fries, hoppas dock att varken Sony eller Microsoft ska lansera en liknande produkt. Såhär sade han om saken under en pratstund med Geek Wire:
"When I first saw it, I thought it was creative, but I wasn't sure if it was going to be successful. Some of the ideas we had actually talked about at Xbox, like having controllers you could separate and hold in each hand. I first played Zelda on the Wii U and enjoyed the game, and thought, maybe I don't need a Switch. Eventually, I buckled and got a Switch to play Mario, and I was really surprised how many different and creative ways they use the controllers, how they can be joined onto different supports, or you can separate them and hand them to another player and turn them sideways. It's something that's really won me over as a cool machine"
Fries fortsatte sitt resonemang och sade:
"I don't think the right thing for Microsoft or Sony to do is imitate Nintendo or try to be Nintendo. I don't think they'll succeed by being Nintendo. I think they've gotta figure out what it is that they do well and continue to do that well."
Tror och hoppas du att Microsoft eller Sony ska lansera en egen hybridkonsol?
