-"The core [hardware] architecture of all 3 main platforms (PS4/XO/SW) has gotten very similar. We can make a base version that we can then make fine adjustments to for ports to PC, Xbox, PS, and Switch."
https://twitter.com/mochi_wsj/status/928232438479728640
-(regarding the Switch's momentum) "I have heard from retailers and publishers while overseas that it's selling very well. A sense that it's got a strong momentum."
-"Nintendo doing well is something we're very grateful for (as one avenue we can output for)."
-"Switch is in a different, unique position compared to PS4 and Xbox."
https://twitter.com/mochi_wsj/status/928233019147567104
-"Recently, games have developed two extremes at the high- and low-ends, but with the switch there is a chance for middle-range software to come back into the scene."
-"In this, there are areas we are well-suited to, and possibilities for multiplatform development, and we have high expectations for the Switch. We will put in the investment and develop for the platform."
https://twitter.com/mochi_wsj/status/928233647458496512
-"We will have all options on the table for what IP to use in titles we develop for Switch, including new, existing, and revival properties."
more literally: (Regarding software to be developed for Switch) We will not rule out any IPs to use, whether they be new, existing, or revived properties.
