The Nintendo Switch launch marked a strong turnaround for Nintendo Co Ltd, following the disastrous performance of the Wii U. The Switch has largely consolidated its older hand-held console market, but now also has the opportunity to create a new generation of young gamers. This poses a major threat to the traditional toys market, which already faces strong age compression pressure from smartphones, and will need to adapt to survive in this new competitive environment.
