Your definition of a bad console doesn't allow for a proper analysis. You keep acting as if you had reasonable arguments and everyone else is a lunatic, so you should do some serious self-evaluation.

Apparently you need to be reminded that Switch is outpacing the PS4 launch-aligned. You also need to be reminded that Switch has seen more than 1,000 game releases in 2019 alone. Yet you act as if Switch is facing an imminent shortage of new games and only more processing power can prevent that. Your comparison with the Wii U is completely ridiculous. Oh, and by the way, Nintendo has a monopoly in the portable console market while concurrently succeeding in the home console market.

Your biggest mistake is that you use the terms "third party games" and "AAA third party games" interchangeably when they are very different things. You are convinced that no AAA third party games on Switch would be equal to no third party games on Switch, but in today's market the AAA industry is becoming increasingly less important because gamers are turning to indie games that come without the bloat and shameless money-grabbing schemes. In a hypothetical future where Switch receives literally zero new AAA third party games, it would still see more than several hundred new games per year.

Lastly, I am aware of the things that Nintendo fans say. Likewise, I am aware that a lot of them lack any skill in market analysis, so not every voice is equal.

lol you're the only one acting like a complete nutjob here. So much so that i even wonder if you're actually trolling or not with ridiculous arguments, looking down on others for having different views from yours, not only that but apparently, you can also read my mind and quote me on things that i've never said. I'm open to different opinions and willing to discuss them with others, something that you seem to have a serious problem with when your views get questioned.

You need to be reminded that PS4 and Xone are near the end of their lifespans while Switch has just started and is up about to face the PS5 and new Xbox that is when things can take a serious turn for the Switch for better or worse. No i've never stated, nor acted like, nor implied that the Switch is facing a shortage of games but it can happen if next gen systems are too far ahead in terms of specs and Switch might end up being ignored by 3rd parties like it happened with WiiU. The Switch is a hybrid console/handheld so it's direct competitors are still Sony's and MS's consoles. You also need to remember that the WiiU kept receiving indie games and none of those saved the WiiU nor werent million Sellers. Look if you're against AAA 3rd party games on Nintendo systems then fine keep buying indie games but the rest of Nintendo fans would like to play non Nintendo games on their Switch as well, as not everybody is as interested in indie games as you are.

Finally, if you want to become the next Michael Pacter then go ahead but don't expect people to shut up and bow down to your voice just cause you think you're so much smarter than the rest, now if you have some people who blindly follow your opinion and praise you for it then congratulations buy yourself and them a cake but i sure wont be one of them especially not with the ridiculous reasons you've provided.

Everything was fine except reason two the core audience was why the Wii U flopped because that's who they aimed for the NS is back to aiming at a broad audience again.

I don't believe the WiiU was catering to the core audience first, i think WiiU tried to please both audiences at the same time but couldn't convince neither and lost big time.

Considering the Switch brand now includes both home and portable consoles it would be pretty embarassing if it turned out to not be successful.

Yeah i think a big portion of sales come from previous 3DS owners which had lots of support it was indeed the better move from Nintendo.
