Nintendo president essentially confirms Switch is a handheld

The problem with the switch is that it's not a very good handheld (large, awkward controls, fears about short battery life) and not a very good home console (under powered, low storage, screen is useless while playing on tv)

So neither fan base (console vs handheld) wants it to be either/or. Let the 3ds continue with possibly a real successor, and give the switch a proper home version with extra power without paying for a useless screen.

It's great for those that love both the console and handheld experience. Hopefully that cross-over crowd is big enough to make it a success.

you havent even played it!
