This is all I really wanted to hear:

RF-A: You’re referring to the fact that they’re closing studios. Our first-party is doing great. Our staffing has increased. We certainly have a wealth of projects. The Mario team is hard at work. The Zelda team is hard at work. There is a new Pikmin coming.

No problem ^^



There's an immense difference between competing and coincidentally being in a similar market. Given Nintendo's love of the Blue Ocean Strategy, which more or less states that competing is a fool's game, I can't really see why they'd want to go toe-to-toe against other companies when it's so much easier to carve out a new and more expansive market that other companies are unable to compete in with their existing products.
