Switch's reveal has been mixed.

Some people like it, some people don't, don't try and spin this like everyone is going crazy. Quite frankly Nintendo could show anything with 3 seconds of new Mario footage and some people would be over the moon no matter what.

Their stock price dropped almost 7% after the unveil, indicating their own shareholders were not impressed with it, probably because it is very similar to the Wii U. 

Mixed?Far from it.Initial reactions(which it is what this trailer provides, initial) have been mostly positive, or at the very least optimistic.After one day of the reveal, i have been hunting reaction videos around youtube, and almost all of them were very positive.Gamexplain,Jim Sterling, IGN, other smaller channels.Even Kinda Funny Games, which are compromised mostly of hardcore Sony fans, said that they were optimistic about the system.And in all reveal videos of the Switch, either the one at nintendo channel or some other youtube channel, the like/dislike numbers are very positive, usually with likes being around 95% of the votes.Now, dont confuse optimism with lack of worry.We all are worried about battery life, final specs and third party.But what they shown so far shows promise.

The Wii U had similar bursts of optimism after reveal too, lets remember that. 

Obviously not everyone was impressed, your stock price doesn't go down by 7% after product unveil if shareholders are wowwed and there are some people who weren't happy with the unveil, so yes I would say that's a "mixed" response. Sure it's probably more on the positive side, but this is not like the Wii or N64 unveils either, lets be clear on that.
