Take-Two CEO Strauss Zelnick has participated in a new interview with Game File during which he specifies that the company’s primary platforms are the Xbox Series X|S and PlayStation 5. Zelnick points out that they have supported the Nintendo Switch 2 but it’s not their go to platform for AAA releases, which the company is known for, with properties including the Grand Theft Auto series.
On platforms:
“We want to be wherever the consumer is, and we’ve supported Switch 2. You can tell from what we are doing and what we’re not doing that our primary console platforms remain Sony and Microsoft.
On Borderlands 4:
We’ve been addressing those challenges, and we want to make sure that we’ve fully addressed Borderlands 4 from a consumer’s point of view before we bring it to more platforms.”

Bloomberg is reporting this evening that Nintendo is under fire from investors to increase the price of the Nintendo Switch 2 due to a shortage of components and increasing costs. The Kyoto-based company’s stock has retreated now for five straight months, while Sony’s has weathered the storm presumably because they have had no issues rising the pricing of the PlayStation 5 and PlayStation 5 Pro. All eyes will be on Nintendo on Friday when Nintendo is due to hold its earnings briefing.
Nintendo investors are concerned that the $450 Switch 2 is deeply unprofitable. US tech giants are buying up the world’s supply of key components like memory, while trade disruptions from the Middle East war are affecting the cost of shipping and even basic materials like plastics. Japanese peers like Capcom, Koei Tecmo and indeed Sony are also under pressure.
