My vision!?

I talking about facts, not about my visions. Switch is successor to Wii U and 3DS (Wii/DS) platforms, and its hybrid of home console and handheld not just handheld that can be connected to TV.

And not history is not repeating, Nintendo goes for totally new and different strategy, they now have unified platform and product that aiming handheld and home console market in same time.

Do you actually know why Nintendo decided to go with unified platform and product that is basically hybrid that aiming handheld and home console market in same time!? Because Nintendo admited that in modern time they cant anymore support separate handheld and separate home console or two different platforms. We will definitely have some new Nintendo hardware in future, but most likely that hardware will be part of Switch platform.

Yeah, it is clear you have no idea what I am talking about because of our differing views on the future. You think you are talking facts but the truth is, you are talking about your beliefs just as I am.

History is repeating itself, Nintendo is selling you something, telling you it is not exactly what it is, and making moves for their future. It is not my fault you are ignoring the parts of my point that expose this.

I know exactly why Nintendo decided to do this, because it made the most sense. They can get hand held first and third party support and fool people into thinking this is a home console. I am not mad at Nintendo, all of their moves are smart. I do not think you understand that about me. I agree with Nintendo's moves. You are just lacking that final part, the part that I see that you do not. The fact that you think Nintendo's next hardware will be a continuence of the Switch is where we disagree and is where the difference of vision comes into play. And it is OK, but that does not mean we should start calling a hand held a home console.

When I talk about Switch I talk about facts, when I talk about future Nintendo hardware that could be said that is my vision, but vision based on what is Nintendo currently doing and what said it will be doing. Actually Switch perfectly fits in Nintendo statements about new platform.

 And again, Switch isn't home console but its not handheld also, it's something between, you can use it like real home console and like real handheld, basicly hybrid of home console and handheld.
