It was a tough interview, kudos to him for showing up for it.
I guess I disagree though. I'm a little surprised by the defeatism from a CEO at the end regardless of their recent momentum though. I do think the Nintendo example is salient and disagree about just giving up or trying to move the needle.
Nintendo went from an absolute disaster of 13 million lifetime consoles over 5 years to 120+ million in a single generation and a billion in software sales. They didn't do it with 3rd party game support, COD, Battlefield, money hatted timed exclusives, digital libraries, motion controls or GTA. It was all based on good first party games.
You absolutely have control over that. And you have the resources, heck to open up your own studios if you need to when you're throwing around tens of billions of dollars. Sort out your studios and put out good games. This totally describes it better than I can.
