I get what you're saying but my point is Nintendo consoles have not received the same "mainstream acceptance" as they did before 2001 or what Sony and MS consoles had over the years. When N64 launches teens/young adults were all over it because it was viewed as the next big thing in gaming but that didnt work out for WiiU. Nowadays Nintendo needs to work their asses off to impress young adults to lose that kiddy image.

Again same goes for 3Rd parties. Sony and MS don't even need to try to cater to them because theyll jump on the bandwagon the second they announce a new console, the same can not be said for WiiU and Switch.

The Switch is going to massively outsell the N64. Nintendo's mainstream image is positive currently, if it wasn't the Switch wouldn't be selling as well as it is.

I agree Switch has sold great so far but we don't need the Switch to be another Wii nor another N64 best case scenario is if it becomes another but better SNES (great exclusives, great 3rd party support, lots of games, lots of variety, make it cool again)
