Sony already won this gen.

Microsoft IMO will seek out a relationship with Nintendo to work together in the next couple of years. You can see them getting more friendlier already.

The switch is not a threat to either sony or Microsoft because multiplats on Switch will be inferior to xbox and PlayStation counterparts.

At one time it was cute when people were assuming that Nintendo is in actual competition to Sony. It's getting kinda lame now.

My prediction is that Switch will sell around 50m units while taking around 0% of Sony and Microsoft's demographic away from them.

If you demand respect or gratitude for your volunteer work, you're doing volunteering wrong.

They won't care.

And it's hilarious that you think Nintendo are market leaders.

If switch sells aswell as 3ds they could be market leaders. Not that crazy an assumption

I don't think neither of them will try to follow Nintendo on this. They are too focused in 4K, cloud gaming and other things. And I think is beter this way, more variety in the market.

You know it deserves the GOTY.

The switch isnt nearly as big a deal as you think it is.

Its not even remotely an original or innovative idea.

The switch is in truth nintendos way of countering the PS4/XB1. It's their way of quietly giving up on full on console gaming and focusing on handheld gaming where they have seen continued and consistent success. They know they cannot compete with Sony and MS in a hardware and pixel war. They know they can't command the kinda third party support tailor made for those kinds consoles so they are making something that would if successful, have its own unique type of software.

don't get it twisted. the switch is a handheld console with a home dock that allows you connect it to your tv. There are tons of games HD twin games you will simply NEVER see on it no matter how successful it is simply cause it lacks the hardware to run them. And that's ok.

And lastly, in case you don't know it, to follow nintendos "lead" would be to go against everything that has made Sony and MS successful. You really think Sony and MS will drop AAA gaming experiences that currently require well over 50GB of data with 4k and HDR to go for 720p 15GB experiences? Naaaaaa, they were past that back in 2013.

Bang. This.
