I mean, if this counts as "official acknowledgement," Nintendo execs have referenced new hardware by saying things like "we're not yet ready to talk about the next console" for years. Kind of only acknowledges in it insofar as it confirms there will in fact be a next system.Also, is this the first official acknowledgement of Nintendo's next system period? I think it is.
Guillemot kept it hypothetical, making it more about Nintendo's advice "to do one iteration on each machine." And then he refers to "the new machine that will come in the future," which is again not referring to any specific hardware.
