Well, first I can't comment — or I won't comment, I should say — on the rumors that are out there. But one thing we've done with the Switch to help with that communication and transition is the formation of the Nintendo Account. In the past, every device we transitioned to had a whole new account system. Creating the Nintendo Account will allow us to communicate with our players if and when we make a transition to a new platform, to help ease that process or transition.

Our goal is to minimize the dip you typically see in the last year of one cycle and the beginning of another. I can't speak to the possible features of a new platform, but the Nintendo Account is a strong basis for having that communication as we make the transition.

Is this him indirectly confirming backwards compatibility?

Why would Nintendo do anything as customer friendly as back compatibility? It's just not who they are.

Because they've done it many times in the past? Wii, WiiU, Gameboy series, DS series all had backwards compatibility.
