Although specific details regarding the next-generation console were not explicitly mentioned during the court proceedings, Kotick did mention that Nintendo’s next-gen console won’t be on par with the likes of the PS5 and Xbox Series S/X.
As per Kotick’s discussion with Nintendo, the latter’s next console would boast power on par with that of 8th-generation consoles, namely the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One.
It was not explicitly mentioned that Nintendo’s next-gen console would be a Switch, but if it is, and if it is on par with the PS4 and Xbox One, it will be a significant leap forward in terms of performance and capabilities.
Further, Kotick added that there is a possibility of running Call of Duty titles on the new Nintendo console if it is fine-tuned in collaboration with Xbox engineers.
With the confirmation of ongoing talks between Activision and Nintendo, and the likelihood of enhanced power and performance, hype for the next-gen Nintendo console is sure to grow.
