Switch 2 slammed by former PlayStation president: 'Nintendo is losing their identity'

A straightforward upgrade isn't enough, according to former PlayStation president Shuhei Yoshida

He also had a tepid reaction to some of the Switch 2's launch games, with third-party titles such as Cyberpunk 2077 already existing on the previous console generation that “core gamers” who have access to other platforms will have likely already played. He continued: “My honest opinion as a software developer is that just because a new hardware feature is added, it doesn't necessarily mean that various problems will be solved or that new kinds of gameplay experiences will be created one after another. So, with Switch 2, we improved its processing speed in the hope that it'll become a dedicated game platform with a strong and solid foundation that allows software developers to create what they want.”
