In an interview done by the Washington Post, Nintendo of America’s President, Reggie Fils-Aime explains how the Nintendo Switch will eventually have streaming services like Netflix, Hulu, and Amazon. However, in the end, these are not huge priorities for Nintendo, and it will focus on the games first.
What I would say is this: We built the Nintendo Switch to be a world-class gaming device, meaning we want you first and foremost to play games on the system and have an incredibly fun experience.
We’re talking to a range of companies about other services, companies like Netflix, Hulu, Amazon — things that will come in time. In our view, these are not differentiators. What differentiates us is the way you play with the Nintendo Switch and what you can play. And that will continue to be our focus into the future as we continue driving this platform.
