  Gamers should know how difficult is to create a concept or to bring a new concept for a mass market, sometimes it works(wii, ds), sometimes don't(wii u, virtual boy). But all they do is complain when a company tries to do something out of the box. Let's call different functions a "gimmick" and let's not try new things, every console should be a ps4... great idea! Nope. Even if the ps4 is selling a lot I appreciate that Nintento is trying to make something different and not a clone because as a consumer I have more options.

 And btw I don't see any unnecesary "gimmick" on the switch, the concept is very clear, hybrid console that you can play on the go and in your home, easy to understand if you don't feel the need to complain for whatever reason, different controllers but all of them work the same way, joycon or pro controllers, the same functions.  I Have a ps4 and a pc, now why in the world would I want to buy a console that does the same shit??? options is really good for the industry.

 

The thing is, they arent doing something out of the box, they are doing something that exists in one form or another.

 

@Bolded/italic/underlined - if that is the reason why you buy different game systems, then you are doing it wrong. People buy different game systems to play different games - case in point first party games. No two systems/platforms are the same, options are great for the industry, but not for the reason you are arguing for.

Totally agree with you there.  Whatever "new concept" or ''new ways of playing" Nintendo can come up with, can easily be copied within the first year by any of the other companies.  But copying the games is a much harder task.
