They havent even truly started marketing it yet. The whole, "its a console first" talk could very well have just been them trying not to take attention away from 3DS & Pokemon which sold pretty well this holiday.

The full reveal next week and the subsequent marketing campaign will likely emphasize on the hybrid aspect of functioning as both a handheld & console rather than over emphasizing on one or the other.

The preview trailer and the Jimmy Fallon demonstration both had a strong focus on the "switching" aspect of being able to choose how you want to play, I have a hard time seeing them stepping back from that and doubling down on it being a console forst and foremost.

2 things:

1st: http://www.polygon.com/2016/10/20/13347910/nintendo-switch-home-gaming-system   

2nd: they had skyrim in the release video which just so happens to be getting a HD remaster for ps4/xbone right around the time NS is scheduled to launch.

 

i know they haven't really gone into full marketing phase but here is the thing,.. expectations are being set right now.  on the 12th (i think) when the reveal fails to confirm peoples expectations it will be seen as a disappointment instead of a winner.   ..and as we've seen with xbone a bad first impression can do massive damage to a console's release.

1. I acknowledged this in my last post, its literally the first paragraph. In other regions Nintendo referred to it just as a dedicated gaming device (or something along those lines) and never claimed it was moreso one over the other and like I said, it could very well just be PR talk so people would still buy 3DS & Pokemon over the holidays.

2. Like I said, it's a handheld & a console so recieving ports of certain console games is to be expected. Also I'm pretty sure PSP, Vita & 3DS recieved console ports at or around launch as well, that didn't make them "consoles first and foremost".

You're last paragraph is based on nothing, I could just as easily say the reveal will exceed most people's expectations & Switch will be a winner and I would be equally as correct as you. We can't say they are marketing it one way or the other when they haven't started marketing it yet.
