yeah, but the difference is that those platforms were able to run games, not as good, but they played them, wii/wii u missied on almost 98% of the great games on ps3/360 because they couldn't even run them, and it will be the same with switch, you will NEVER see red dead redemption 2 on switch, you will NEVER see mass effect andromeda on switch, etc.

Yes, these games probably not gonna end up being released on switch. But I've already have a console where I can play them. And there are a lot of people who will buy Switch for Nintendo games just like me. So, it's basically will be secondary console after all. And it will succed if it will have the right price to be secondary console. Just like the Wii did

The GameCube was $99 for like half it's life cycle. And that still didn't take off. 

The Wii succeeded because of a miracle controller craze, something Nintendo doesn't look to have again. 

People don't like buying "secondary consoles". It's better to simply frame the Switch as Nintendo's successor to the 3DS, while incorporating whatever is left of their failed console division.
