This is a great, great post. I agree with much of it. I was on my phone and did not want to make a long post like this but if I had, it would have looked something like this post right here. Not exactly the same (as I approach personal opinions drastically differently than he does), but this post contains much of what I would have said if I was on my computer.

The Switch is evolution in the same way the home console was evolution. Home consoles basically eliminated the need for arcades and Switch (if successful) is the beginning of the end of a need for exclusive home consoles. Well, not exactly, but it is the end of traditional exclusive home consoles.

That may be true, but that doesn't mean the Nintendo formula is neccessarily going to be the one that carries that future forward. 

Honestly, tablet manufacturers could start making a lot of tablets with snap on controllers standard and the ability to dock to a TV as standard too and play games that way. It wouldn't be hard at all. 

So yeah, in 10 years, kids may basically just have a tablet that does all of those things and has the horsepower of a PS5 or whatever. 

I can see what you are saying and I can subscribe to that reality. I would prefer if Nintendo were the ones to carry that future forward but the reality is, that is very unlikely.
