Since when being realistic is saying that something will fail certainly when this something hasnt even been fully revealed?

Its not a matter of third party support on Nintendo selling more than in the other consoles.Its a matter of companies getting a profit out of the ports in the Switch.If that happens, and the effort seems like it will bear fruits, then companies will port.A developer wont say no to cashing in an extra few millions.And if they feel like that is possible on the Switch, they will do it.Take Dark Souls 3.Using Vgchartz numbers only, and not taking digital sales into consideration, DS 3 did .037 on XOne, while the PS4 version outsold it massively, standing at 1.60 million.So why does the XOne version exist?Simply because From Software(Or Bandai Namco in this case), is getting money out of it, and at the same time it makes people happy that it is available in more places.

It wont be different for the Switch.Now wether it outsells the PS4 or not, its a whole different discussion.But in my book, the Switch is a 9 gen console, so it dosent matter that much, as long as the console itself is successful.

Becasue its already failing by not getting all the games, its already lacking power to run what they other two will be running.    

You are repeating the same rethetic that the nintendo hopefull said about wiiu.  Using the exact same arguemnts.   And still you are using xbox to defend nintendos console chances why ? why not use the wiiu.  Well we both know why.  

What ever gen its quality is that of or less then the PS4/X1, so its directly competing with them.  It will lose that battle.  If GC/U numbers are succesfull then yes it may just be successfull.

I am repeating because not only you dont seem to understand the point Im trying to make, but you dont even answer with a real argument and just says:"Look at Wii U?See any third party?Yeah, there is your answer for why Switch wont have gamez!"

I am making the comparison with the XBox because you say that the other counter parts will simply have the better versions and thus third party games on the Switch wont sell well.The PS4 usually have the better version, either due to the graphics being abit better, or more stable framerate, and yet the XBox version also sells well.Why?Because in the end, the difference isnt big and people have preferences on consoles and prefer to buy on their console of choice, even if their versions arent the exactly the best one.

The same can happen to the Switch.Developers dont give a flying fuck if its Nintendo and the stereotype that "third parties dont sell on Nintendo".Assuming the Switch is capable of handling their games, and the company sees potential in it, they will port to it, especially since Nintendo seems to be pro active on bringing devs on board.The Wii U failed because Nintendo failed with it, both in its design and treatment with third party.If Nintendo makes the right moves, they can and will get people to port or make games for the NS.

To be quite honest, whoever thinks that the Switch will do Wii U numbers or remotely close to it, are simply delusional.By combining their handheld and home console, they are expanding their audience for that system by a large number.People seriously need to stop with the Nintendo is Doomed thought all the time without any evidence.



My (locked) thread about how difficulty should be a decision for the developers, not the gamers.
