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.

but they have been marketing it.  not a lot but they put up that youtube video and they showed it off on the tonight show.  but they are leaving a lot unsaid and allowing people to fill the gaps with rumors and their dreams and own interpritations of what little info nintendo offered.

i think that is dangerous and leads to people feeling let down by the full reveal.

 

i mean,. you could be right and people will love the full reveal.  neigher of us will know until the 12th but i still think they are setting themselve up for failure they way they are hiding the details until just before the console's launch.  i mean c'mon,.. we're like 2 months from launch now and know just about nothing about it.
