Except this is Nico Wav who is being interviewed, not some random "analyst", he is a very respected insider, having worked with Ubisoft & Nintendo, so when he says something you pay attention, I'm not saying that you should take his word as gospel, I certainly don't, but I think it's enough to assume that there is more than meets the eye. I certainly give him (someone who has spent actual time with a Switch devkit) more credit than random kid posters in here who want the Switch to be a weak console & wetdream everynight about the failure of Nintendo & hopes Nintendo goes 3rd party (& don't take take this the wrong way, I'm not talking about you, I'm just generalizing)!!!

I understand, but when he's talking about possible 3DS games support, the console being for the West and not for Japan, the Nintendo shares losing value being a strategy from Nintendo, and the Switch being the savior of the morose industry because Yves Guillemot said so, he sounds more like an internet fanboy than a professional. He does give a few information (Ubisoft, Platinum and Capcom having Switch exlusive games), but a lot of the discussion is just Nintendo fans talking about their dreams and wishes for the console. So I would take the whole video with a lot of caution. I'm not saying that he can't have insider information, just that it's not the subject or mood of this video.

 

He gives one more interesting information, he thinks that the Wii U will be connected to the Switch in order to use its DVD reader (and run the Wii U games). 

I don't care much about his hopes, he is a Nintendo fan & shows it, what I care is what he says about the console tech performance... Not in this video but an older one from september on this channel he says, that porting games from PS4 is happening & said games work at 1st try & need almost no optimization, he said that the console even has some "muscle left" that allow optimizations over the PS4 version of the game... It's hard to believe, even for me a Nintendo fan, due principaly to the size & handheld factor of the Switch, but you can't deny that there is a lot of 3rd parties supporting it (even if we don't know how many & what games will en up on it), some of them who haven't released games on a nintendo console like in forever & they wouldn't be there if the console was weak & hard to port to.

Again, give me near X1 level of performance @ 300$ with 3rd party support & Nintendo could have a winner!!! I was very skeptic after the reveal (to say the least), but since some interesting info has appeared painting a rosier picture!!!

I guess we'll know soon enough, I won't lose sleep over this anymore, I'll judge the info when it's coming & see if the Switch is worth my money!!!
