Why people shouldn't worry so much about the Switch's third party support

Doesn't matter. This isn't a handheld. It won't be marketed as a handheld, it's hardware won't be priced like a handheld, and its software won't be proved like a handheld. The Switch is DOA without multiplats, and with 32GB internal, a 128GB cap on external, and a telling 16GB standard on game card sizes, this thing is not keeping multiplat support.

Literally everything I've been saying is wrong with carts has turned out to be wrong with the Switch, and Nintendo has no more chances after this. If Switch fails, it doesn't matter how much money Nintendo has - their hardware brand will be in the gutter. I know I said that they need to keep the price as low as possible, but if it's st this cost, they should have gone digital only, put in $500GB of storage, and priced it at $399. At least then they could have marketed it as a premium device. I am not looking forward to what we learn on Jan 12.

Coming from the guy who said that Nintendo's next handheld would keep the dual screens approach, the 3D technology in the 3DS and not have any form of physical media support this doesn't really mean much. You've been dead wrong so many times.

We don't even know the price yet of the Switch... The 3DS launched for $250 with barely any games and the same can be said about the Wii U which launched for $350. I think there's a good chance that the Switch will only be $250.
