Seems like a case by case thing to me. Some games would definitely benefit from having access on the go, but I think I'll tend to swing PS4 on most cases by default just for the likely visual improvements and trophy support, it's the only ecosystem I've really gotten invested in, and I doubt that'll change even if Nintendo comes up with their own achievement system.

This is also a good point, and something I think Nintendo is trying to remedy with the Switch and My Nintendo specifically. Sony, Microsoft, and Valve all have head starts when it comes to forming account-based relationships with their consumers.

I think that My Nintendo will be prominently built into the UI of the Switch, but like you suggest, it's not really going to take anyone away from an ecosystem someone is already invested in. I do think it will give them some leverage with those consumers though, especially when it comes to buying indie games because of Gold Coins.

I think thats the only way nintendo can introduce an achievement system this late in the game and even begin to pull people away from their ecosystems. My trophy count, while modest compared to many, still represents years of work and a lot of money, it'd be hard for me to not want to continue working on it. Obviously ahievements dont matter to everyone though, and it's probably a moot point to a lot of people haha
