Nintendo CEO: Nintendo Accounts Key to Transitioning Fans to Next Console

Nintendo president Shuntaro Furukawa says Nintendo Accounts will allow for a smooth transition to the company's next console.
There are over 290 million Nintendo Accounts that work across Nintendo's platforms.
Nintendo has struggled with console transitions in the past but sees accounts as a way to improve the experience.
Furukawa did not provide details on a new console but said one is not coming this year.
While accounts may ease the transition, there's no guarantee digital libraries will carry over to a new console.
