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.

Like I said, the marketing they have done thus far (preview trailer & Jimmy Fallon) both had a strong focus on the "switching" aspect, the ability to function as a handheld or home console. Nothing suggests that once they start fully marketing it, they will focus on it being mostly a console. There is literally one single quote of it being more of a console and that was likely done so people would continue to buy 3DS over the holidays.

Alot of people said the same thing about Breath of the Wild, that it was a mistake to go so long without showing it and hyping it up and guess what? Once they did show it, the hype went through the roof and people not think Nintendo made the roght choice in how they handled the big reveal. I feel like a very similar situation will happen with Switch.
