you say bias, but here what i see. After the failure of Wiiu, Nintendo is launching a console and only facing a PS4 and X1 are their best at +50m +30m. Who have gotten are getting more powerfull versions and might/should be getting a price cut. All things point to the Switch being weaker then the weakest sku from PS and Xbox and it may cost more then a PS4.. wow. None are pleaging fullly equal support same as Ps4/X1. Switch will miss game releases we know this as fact already. We all know the 3rd party struggles on nintendo platforms. Nothing remotly recent historically points to any likelyhood of good 3rd party sales especially upon launch time. You said nin fans dont buy 3rdP casue inferior ports yet given the likely power disparity Switch games will not be equal to the PS/X versions and will be especially iferior to the Pro/Scorpio. Indies might have sold yet others didint. And this is where were at. Fell free to call be bias lol. Im just cold and realistic. |
My problem is not with you being analytical with this.While you got some points wrong, such as price(It is all indicating that the cheapest Switch SKU will be at the very least cheaper than the normal PS4, with a good chance of being 50 dollars cheaper), and that GC had decent third party support and their versions sold well(It was just that the PS2 versions sold better due to overwhelmingly higher installed base), Im not contesting the historical side of things, or that the likelyhood of third party staying the same on the Switch as it was on Wii U.
My problem with your posts is that you are clamoring as fact that the Switch will fail with 100% of certain, when that is simply and factually wrong.Companies learn from their mistakes and Nintendo is no different.They adapt and do ddifferent strategies.See the previous example I gave about the XOne and PS3.Or even look at Nintendo history to see another one.The jump from GC to Wii is another example of adapting tactics.They went to a different kind of market(The Wii was the complete oposite of what the GC was trying to do) and suceeded,All Im saying is that there is a chance that the Switch may be just that.I dont ask you to accep that as fact or anything.Just accept that as a chance, as something that might happen, even if it is remote.
