Nintendo's creative fellow Shigeru Miyamoto has commented on the current landscape of performance-focused console wars, stating that Nintendo wishes to be left out of them. The current climate of console gaming is focused on PlayStation, Xbox, and Nintendo, with PlayStation and Xbox typically being discussed as the main competitors against each other. On the other hand, Nintendo is usually in a different position than the other two simply because of how unique the consoles it produces are.
This can be seen in the vast differences between the eighth and ninth generations of video game consoles produced by the three companies. The PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S console families are focused on improving their predecessors in terms of computation and graphics, along with performance. On the other hand, Nintendo goes against the grain with the Nintendo Switch, which is a hybrid console that is focused on giving gamers the chance to play their games on the go or at home on a TV without necessarily focusing on graphics or performance. Nintendo's own Miyamoto commented on the competition and the company's own position, stating it doesn't wish to be "dragged" into it.
