Summary
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Hello! We've been thinking a lot about what Nintendo's long-term plan is to get new younger players into their gaming ecosystem. With gaming habits changing to SO much in the last few years, Nintendo is going to have to do some other things if they want to stay relevant with the younger generation. It's an interesting time to look into the question since the Switch 2 is selling so well, but this is a topic where they really need to look ahead into the future. Are they doing enough or are they doomed to fail?

| 0:36.2 | records. But at the same time, it feels like there is the Switch 2 is breaking records but at the same time |
| 0:38.5 | it feels like there is a change that is happening in terms of the habits of younger fans of video |
| 0:45.5 | games who are getting exposed to things coming up with things a very different way than we |

| 1:19.7 | Or are they just continuing to sell very well to all of us? |
| 1:25.4 | The same people. |
| 1:26.0 | The decrepit aging gamers, you know, we're just... |
