First, Furukawa commented on the Nintendo's objectives. He stated, "In order to make smartphone games a pillar of our company's income, reaching at least 100 billion yen is a must."
Furukawa also said that producing mobile games is "an important business to keep in mind for the future. [Having sales reach at least 100 billion yen] is going to be difficult, a challenge to be sure. We'll keep producing original, creative games to realize that goal, however."
Concerning Switch, Furukawa noted that "the console is still selling well." Nintendo's goal is for everyone to have one.
Furukawa weighed in on 3DS as well. He said that "though it's been around much longer, the 3DS has certain advantages over the Switch such as ease of purchase and the like." Furukawa also commented on a possible successor, saying that Nintendo is "considering various possibilities." However, the statement alone doesn't make it clear how serious the company is when it comes to exploring a new dedicated portable device that follows in 3DS' footsteps.
