I agree with you guys to a point, but the outcrys of everyone for Nintendoom has always been lack of 3rd party support. And sure 3rd party support technically means that if a developer makes any game for Switch, but what most people mean when they say they want 3rd party support is equal treatment and effort (ie. the same AAA games). When you have 2 consoles that are near enough in power, you can spend a lot of money on a AAA game and port to either one and PC without any difficulty. When you have an outlier, it takes more effort and more money which then means there is less incentive to do so. This gets us in the situation of the Wii U. The only way this will not happen again is if the Switch takes off and has a huge userbase that will guaratnee sales for these developers (like the Wii did).

I agree with the strategy Nintendo is taking on making a cheap, accessible device that will appeal to a broad demographic, and hopefully the world does too. I personally do not play many multiplat AAA games. I have a high-end PC for those, so this again doesn't affect me as much, but I know it will affect a lot of people who can afford only 1 console. 

IMHO i think most of those people are full of crap and just lookin for any reason to hate on Ninty, they were never interested in getting a Ninty system. Hell look at those games that did release on Wii U that were AAA multiplats they all flopped hard.

I think this is right on the money.

A lot of the people blasting Nintendo for hosting so few third party games already play them on PS4 or XOne, or PC. I imagine a lot of it is FUD or concern trolling, which is super frustrating. If someone hates Nintendo and wants it to fail, I wish they would at least be honest about it.
