| adisababa said: It has horrible 3rd party support and honestly, sales have more or less started to stabilize/ flatline, there's no hype for the Switch at all. Nintendo's weak third party support and the Switch's inability to run high profile games this gen will only serve to hurt the console. The switch will probably always play second fiddle to the other consoles simply because it will never get games like Anthem, Red Dead Redemption, Call of Duty, Battlefield, the next elder scrolls and Cyberpunk 2077. Those high profile games will never hit the Switch and will never be able to run on the Switch. The Switch is fine for a Nintendo audience but it will never be beyond that because it simply cannot be that due to its hardware limitations. Heck the OG Xbox One ran the Black Ops 4 beta at 45 fps, it was struggling and that's one of the least demanding triple-A games right now. Imagine the switch lol. Don't need a repeat of Doom where it ran at 480p 20fps at times. The Switch is just a Wii, a companion piece to an actual gaming console and that's fine, it's doing well enough. |
You have been saying much of the same thing since the system launched and it has not proven to be true. The Switch has already gone beyond the "Nintendo audience" as 70% of its base consists of existing PS4 and Xbox One owners. As for the no hype statement, the system continues to sell very strongly and it is more or less kept pace with the PS4 in its second year, it has yet to have a price cut, and it came out on top this August and had the best July of the generation; none of that is indicative of console lacking excitement around it.
While Switch is not getting AAAs, it has a strong library of first-party titles that are highly appealing in the market and that the other systems will not have, it has support of Japanese developers, it is getting decent AA support from third-parties, and it has become quite the target for indies. It is a very much an actual gaming console (despite your claims) that is offering something the other platforms simply do not, which is its portability. For people that primarily like to do heavy gaming on portables the Switch will become their main system, and for those that enjoy playing on portables in addition to gaming on stationary systems like PC/Xbox/PS then the Switch makes an excellent companion (much like 3DS, Vita, PSP, DS, GBA, etc) did before.
