Reading through this thread I realize the main distinction for people is really how they feel about Western AAA games.  Some people see these games as the main draw in getting a console and others do not.  I would bet the OP doesn't really care about Western AAA games too much.

Some people point to other aspects like cutting edge graphics or online multiplayer, but really these are aspects associated more with Western AAA games.  Online shooters are mostly Western, and the games that go for high end graphics are like 80%+ Western games.  

So really the distinction is, "What are my favorite games?"  If your favorite games include few AAA Western games, then having Switch as your primary/sole console makes a lot of sense.  But if you play a lot of Western AAA games, then you may scratch your head at why people are talking up the Switch so much.
