The gamers who play multiplatform games have little reason to buy them on Switch when PS4/Xbone offer the same games with better graphics, better online infrastructure, thriving userbases, and most of their friends.

Better online infrastructure? Do you have the patents for the Switch online infrastructure?

The console with most of their friends? Did your friends recieve their Playstations and Xbox's before their release? 

Better graphics? Xbox seems to have pretty good third party support...

Ok sorry for being a little bit of a cocky smart ass.  But you get what I mean. That isn't an infallable argument, but there is some truth behind it. It really depends on HOW MUCH you're sacrificing with the Switch. We can sit here all day and talk about graphics, but what we do know is that for the first time in a long time Nintendo is using a "gimmick" that will benefit hardcore gamers and casual gamers alike. A gimmick that doesn't change the game or hell even the method of control. Something that is so perfect in that it's innovation is not innovating the console but it's portions. 

People are talking about the Switch a lot. It's a fact. As for Online infrastructure, we don't know. What i'm guessing is that online games are going to do worse on Switch, but RPGs are going to do fantastically. I'm also guessing indies will flock to switch. I'm a bit worried that the Switch is actually TOO powerful for some  of the exclusively DS developers, but they'll probably move to phones or still develop for switch at their own development risks. 

As it is though, if a port does 400k at least, it's still going to be a success on the Switch, considering how easy it is to port to. 

 

Will Nintendo's new online infrastructure for Switch support something like the gamer tag I have in my sig? Its a pretty basic easy thing to do.

   

Hey! They got SONY on my amiibo! Wait a minute. Two great gaming tastes that game great together!
