Shigeru Miyamoto Declares ‘Console War’ Nonexistent: Nintendo’s Unique Vision Amidst Sony and Microsoft Rivalry

Shigeru Miyamoto, the creator of Super Mario, recently spoke about the famous “console war” saying that it doesn’t really exist.

The recent announcement of Sony’s PlayStation 5 Pro has not only sent the web world and the gaming community into a frenzy regarding the price, but it has once again highlighted how business video game console following a very unique path, that is to say. that is to release machines capable of processing increasingly complex processes at ever-increasing power to surpass not only the previous generation, but clearly the competition.

This modus operandi has, clearly, been going on for several years and both Sony and Microsoft consoles are aimed at attract as many customers as possible by demonstrating the console’s technical prowess in terms of process speed, graphics resolution, 3D models, ray tracing, frame and so on and so on: reasons that over the years have caused what is still today described as “console war” of video game companies.

A conversation that was not, however, interested in Nintendo consoles that have been following a different path from the one that Sony and Microsoft have for several years now: a position confirmed by Shigeru Miyamoto himselfthe creator of Super Mario and other impressive series in the N overview, which emphasized that Nintendo is not part of this “console war” and that the fight with Sony and Microsoft is not there.

Nintendo’s goals are different: Miyamoto’s assertion

Shigeru Miyamoto, considered by many to be the father of modern video games, was recently interviewed by Famitsu at the opening of the Nintendo Museum in Kyoto which will be opened to the public on October 2nd: no Super Mario’s father spoke not only about the museum itself, but also about him Nintendo’s own policy and its goals at the gaming level in terms of competition with the other two companies in the sector, which are Sony and Microsoft.

Miyamoto emphasized how Nintendo products will never seek high specifications and technical power in the console segment, but as it has always always aiming to innovate and surprise the public with one-of-a-kind technologies what happened for example with the Switch itself and how it is a hybrid console; In addition, another goal of the Kyoto house is not only to create video games, but also also recreational products just like the museum.

Miyamoto’s words are certainly not surprising because every gamer knows that Nintendo is playing a different game compared to that of Sony and Microsoft, but they also give us additional hints about the next console from the big N that everyone now calls Nintendo Switch 2: simply because the current Switch may not reach the power of Sony and Microsoft consoles, but it will certainly have innovative technology that will make it truly exclusive.
