Stop trying to predict Nintendo

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. 

They are the same investors that invested in Nintendo thinking they were the ones responsible for Pokemon GO(and the ones ripping all the profits).Investors are not the most informed bunch of people, specially if it regards to videogames.

Now, is Switch the most hyped console of all time?Of course not.I wasnt as invested in gaming as I am now until somewhere in the 6th generation, so I wouldnt be able to say.But for ehat this trailer tried to achieve, I think it did a great job.I mean, if people are this agressive trying to bash Nintendo or trying to defend it, it means tgat the trailer did its job, of that putting the Switch on the spotlight.Now, to consolidade its hold and to make people buy the system, well this is the job of the full reveal direct/conference.
