And I mean, other studios shift their whole schedules based on a mega game like that.

So you suddenly saw other delays or things were pushed up.

Um,

I think in the absence of a major hit from the Switch 2, you have all these indie games.

And to me, I'm like, we kind of have to stop calling them indie games.

Yes, they're independent developers, the same way we have indie movie studios, but these games are selling millions of copies.

And these games have huge fan bases.

These studios are getting stronger.

I think that's really healthy for the industry.

I think it means we have more major companies and it's not so much of like, you know, oligopoly or something.

They're synonymous with games.

Great.

They sold.

I mean, the Switch 2 sold incredibly fast and incredibly well.

I think in this sort of long tail moment right now, you have to look at Nintendo and realize how they sell games has fundamentally shifted.

This is a company that is trying to combine strategies from Apple and strategies from Disney together into...

what they see as the future of global entertainment.

So, yeah, of course, like, it would have been great if they gave us a new Mario platformer, but Mario Kart has the synergy of all of these characters in the Mario universe.

And what are they also now heavily marketing?

A new Mario movie.
