The Nintendo Switch is one of the company’s biggest successes ever, outselling all of its other home consoles with the exception of the Wii. Despite these big numbers, Nintendo president Shuntaro Furukawa isn’t resting, and he said he wants to avoid the big dropoff that most of Nintendo’s systems see once they’ve been out for a few years.
Speaking to Nikkei Business (and translated by Kotaku), Furukawa explained that with the exception of the Switch, Nintendo has seen its business take a “nosedive” when consoles have hit their midlife point. Since the Switch is now four years old, it’s seemingly at least at its midlife point, but sales continue to be strong for both games and the hardware.
“Because of this, I myself as well as those within the company do not at all think the current state of affairs will keep going and going,” he added.
Microsoft’s Bethesda Purchase Approved By SEC
The United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has officially approved Microsoft’s purchase of Bethesda. It was one of the last remaining roadblocks to the acquisition finally closing, but Bethesda isn’t becoming part of Xbox just yet.
The SEC published a “notice of effectiveness” for the transaction on its website this week. If you’re not familiar with SEC filings, it doesn’t exactly mean much on the surface, but this notice is used when the SEC accepts a company’s registration. The “S-4” on the page means this is related to either a merger or an acquisition, and if you go to the related documents for this notice, it lists Microsoft’s registration amount as being $7.5 billion. This is the amount agreed upon during the deal last year.
The SEC’s approval actually comes as we were expecting to hear word from the European Commission, the other major regulatory body that could put a stop to this deal. It was scheduled to make a ruling by March 5, though it doesn’t appear to have made it public yet, assuming the ruling hasn’t been outright delayed. Assuming that is approved, it shouldn’t be too long before we see the companies working together officially.
