That's not how I read that at all. He's saying that he's confident people won't mistake Switch for a 3DS successor, because it isn't. It's a portable home console. Nintendo's official statement on the matter is that it's a home gaming system. One that is portable.

I simply disagree. This is most definitely a 3DS successor. If this is a home console, where is the home console portion? There is a glorified video out case, but the honest reality is that this is a hand held that can be hooked to a television. Fuck the fact that it uses moile technology torun the console.

 

There is nothing wrong with this since I believe Nintendo is really going somewhere with their next home console. When Nintendo released DS, they said they were not killing off Game Boy and that DS was not the Game Boy replacement; rather, it was the third pillar. But, who were they fooling? Only the most dedicate sheep were fooled into believing that lie and now only that same equivalent would be fooled here. The DS line did replace the Game Boy line and I believe this line will replace the DS line.

Switch at home can be used like real console (playing on TV with separate controller, for playing local multiplayer on TV) same like it could be used like real handheld. Basically its successor to Wii U and 3DS. Nintendo itself calling it "portable console".

Reality is that GB died shortly after DS arived, same will be for Wii (Wii U is already dead) and DS after Switch arives. Don't expect another Nintendo home console in near future, actualy I think in 2-3 years first we will see Switch Pocket, smaller Switch whitout dokc and controler.
