These topics frustrate me for how little understanding one has for why things work the way they do and why this was needed for Nintendo and the industry. Oh and Btw Gameboy line did really well selling well over 200 million combined units. DS line has again sold for a combined over 200 million units. Xbox and PS4 being just PCs with a custom OS is hurting the industry and stagnating it. They don't offer much we can't get on a PC and better. We do not need 3 of the same thing. Just look at history. Every time 3-4 consoles go for the same market one of them fails badly. Turbo,Saturn,Dreamcast,Gamecube,Wii U. The reason is when 3 or more target the same crowd 3 becomes a crowd. Over saturated. DS,Wii,NES,Game Boy aimed and Switch aiming at a blue ocean. N64,Gamecube,Wii U aimed at a red ocean and paid for it in different ways.
Switch offers something new and unique and something anyone can get into. They also used Sony like marketing with Switch. Again a damn good thing. They have adults excited. Making a console like Sony or MS would not only seal the deal of Nintendo's last console,it would lose them a boat load of money possibly making them do a SEGA. Sony and MS don't care they lose money on hardware but Nintendo does care. Switch is the smartest thing they have done since Wii.
