So, I was thinking.

We are so close to the Switch´s launch and a lot of people say Nintendo should have gone all out on the 3rd party support thing.

But I think they have a bunch of aces in theirs sleeves, as follows:

- It appeals to parents as a kiddie friendly console, no COD or GTA in the advertisings and colorful fun looking games.

- It appeals to the decent handheld crowd.

- It appeals to the WiiU fanbase cause it is still Nintendo in HD, and there is the tablet touch thing when not docked.

- It appeals to the multi-function lovers, as it does combine a bunch of devices in it.

- It has a brand new piece of tech, the HD Rumble thing, which will probably be a standart next gen.

- It does leave room for low level VR, so, if this boat sails or not, Nintendo has something to offer.

- It has the main Nintendo IP coming.

- There is always the promisse of mid-level Nintendo IPs showing up, which is exciting specially to older gamers.

- It is a fun new little thing, and there is a crowd for such devices.

- It once again avoids going against the big dogs, blue ocean strategy once more.

- And finally, there is no way it will fail harder than the WiiU, so, the only way to go is up.

How So? It doesn't have a browser, it doesn't have netflix or other streaming apps... it almost certainly can't play media files either. I don't think it can even take photo's like the 3ds.

I can't think of anything you CAN do on it other than play games.

What? No Netflix???? Did not know that. I guess the multi thing left is handheld and console then.

But, bad move to take out Amazon Prime or Netflix, Hulu, Youtube out of it.

It'll get them eventually, it's just because the Switch is a little rushed. Browser, Streaming Apps and Online Subscription will probably all come in at around the same time.

Even so, kinda weird. 

amazon Prime is not good though, I watched a trial yesterday, not that much stuff in it. But I did watched Howard Stern Private Parts, a very interesting biopic.

Have you been on the internet the past couple of weeks? lol

Maybe don't dig in too deeply in the news or you might end up deleting this thread :D

I was locked out of Vgchartz =( for a week or 2. Thanks to TruckOsaurs I am back, he is a very cool guy. God bless him.

It is all I need now... until next Nintendo Console

The ace up Nintendo's sleeve will likely be Pokemon Stars at Christmas.

More like a Nuclear Bomb up their sleeves. This would destroy all competition.
