I agree with some of the points of the OP.
Switch isn't a great name, but it's not terrible either. It's kind of like GameCube ... it's just sorta ... "ok". NS rolls off the tounge fine too, I don't see why it doesn't and "NX" or "DS" does. Most importantly it's a clean break from the toxic "Wii" branding.
I think Western third party support will be wishy washy. Maybe like what the Wii U had for it's first two holiday seasons at best (some multiplats, while missing other ones). Japanese support will be good, maybe even better than the 3DS because it has some real horsepower to handle even high end games provided the dev is willing to downscale them some.
The home console exeperience that it offers is not likely to be great, it just doesn't have the horsepower there. Tegra X1/X2 are good chips but they don't stack up with even a XBox One S.
It will sell better than a Wii U because it's actually portable but I think it will be below the 3DS unless several things go right for Nintendo (ie: new hit breakthrough IP like Pokemon or Splatoon). |
Switch is a fabulous name. People just haven't got used to it yet.
You say sepcificially "home console experience", but that doesn't imply you think there will be two different power modes, correct?
You're just comparing it as a home console to the other home consoles and asking if that Tegra power is competitive. Yes, I got it.
It will be double the Wii U in power, yes? Like halfways between a Wii U and Xbox One.
How many millions per year do you think it will sell? I believe first year 10 million but then 12 million per year for a few years.
