Fils-Aimé also discussed Nintendo's development efficiency, saying that the company's developers are "so efficient with their games" and that this efficiency "is what they need to share with third-party developers" to ensure their content is successful on the Switch 2. He described the console war as "over" and suggested that the focus has shifted to software and ecosystem expansion. Fils-Aimé expressed optimism about the industry's long-term prospects, but noted that "the biggest challenge moving forward is maintaining a steady flow of great software."
