And this is what I completely don't understand. What about Nintendo's reveal made people think the Switch will be home to massive AAA third party titles seen on PS4/X1? Better yet, what about Switch made people think that it was ever Nintendo's focus to get Red Dead Redemption 2 and the like on their platform?

No hardcore Battlefield 1 fan is running to the Switch version which will performs between 480p-720p whilst looking like a PS3 game, never hitting 60Fps and most importantly excluding all of their friends who are on one of the established online ecosystems (PSN, Xbl). Even if developers did throw all their might at the Switch, most of their multiplatform games would flop into oblivion. Anyone who has the Switch as their sole current gen system is not massively interested in Red Dead Redemption 2, Mass Effect Andromeda etc and those who are belong to a tiny minority who are not going to make it a huge success on the platform, long term this means withdrawn support from those type of games. 

I'm sure Nintendo is counting on third party support, and Third parties are looking to support Nintendo but it won't be in the way many people on here seem to be hoping. January's event could prove me wrong but from Western developers I'm betting on...

Last gen ports/remasters: GTA V, Skyrim, Biohock Collection

E for Everyone (generic audiences): Fifa, Need for Speed, Skylanders, Garden Warfare, Just Dance, Call of Duty, Titafall

Exclusives: New (quirky & small budget) IPs, Mobile ports/remakes , anything Nintendo wants to money hat.

I'll add the importance of third party support is disminished with a successful gimmick, it has always been dimished on Nintendo handhelds and is even further dimished when this gimmick means Nintendo have a more steady output. 

1. No this is pretty much the only thing of sense you say in this entire thread.

2. I highly doubt that the cartridges will be rewritable, for both cost and security reasons. They can be though. Liklihood is a different matter

3. No.... no they couldn't. They could.

4. Potentially... as far as I'm aware the larger micro sd cards that currently exist don't require specific hardware, a software update could potentially allow bigger cards, the problem is cost... a 256gb Micro SD will currently set you back £130..... you could get a 4tb HDD for less then that. Again, price today=/=price in 5 years

No... it couldn't... . It really could. 1TB could hold 20 games. Just maths.

There's so much wrong with this post I don't know where to begin, I don't think I really need to say anything. Nintendo tricked Sony/MS to go down the Kinect/Move rabbit hole. You can brush their failures off but it still cost lots of money/devtime. MS even kinected their new console. 

1. No... afaik there is currently NO game on the PS4/XBO that uses multiple disks. I was talking about changing from game A to game B. Why do you have to change disks if it's installed on the system?

2. I've literally never encountered a situation where I've put a ps4 disk in for the first time and not been able to play it within 30 seconds... half day installations... Play or stare at the menu screen? 'Ready to play' means nothing of the sort for some games.

That's..... I don't think that's how it works.

Ok.... that's DEFINITELY not how it works. Floppy disks say differently.

Thank you for the entertaining and bewildering posts... I mean... half day installations.... all your posts in this thread have been entertaining satire. I hope...

You're welcome.
