Games Industry has had the prospect to speak with Take-Two CEO, Strauss Zelnick, who just lately introduced that the acclaimed Red Dead Redemption is coming to the Nintendo Switch later this this month as a full priced launch. The gaming publication quizzed Mr. Zelnick about how vital he feels backwards compatibility is on the following Nintendo platforms and whether or not the characteristic has a unfavorable affect on publishers.
“I’m undecided. You want to provide customers what they need and optimize their expertise, and you may’t not ship a characteristic you’re in a position to ship in order to maximise gross sales. That isn’t fulfilling your contract with customers. You must do the easiest you’ll be able to for them. I suppose it’s potential the shortage of backward compatibility may improve your income for a time period, however at what value? We’re not a {hardware} producer so we don’t get to make these selections. But I believe in case you might be appropriate technically, then you definitely need to be. However, in sure cases if the leap ahead is nice sufficient, that’s not a chance.”
