I'm just quoting a few, but it really stands for many comments I've heard so far.

It doesn't matter if Sony and Microsoft are fine as is. That is irrelevant. If the Switch is successful, unlike WiiU, then a market will be created. Competitors will want a piece of that market regardless of whether they are currently in "good standing"

In the OP I talked about how Wii invigorated gaming and brought it to the mainstream. Is this still being debated in 2016? Hence the "beacons of change." when I talk about Nintendo trying to lead once again. 

I will say, however, that it is arrogant to believe the Switch is a given success. It seems to have sparked a chord that the WiiU didn't, but the future does remain a mystery. I see many positive signs.

Switch won't create a new market the way Wii did, as it does not tap into a previously unreached demographic in the same way.
