Were you not here when Wii and DS were destroying the market? Haters were out in full force making up, "facts" like Wii did not sell games or there were no games for Wii and Nintendo was still doomed. Just stupid. It does not matter how successful the console is, there will always be haters.

People, specfically core gamers disliked the Wii because it was a touch more powerful than the original XBOX.... and it was a significant generation behind in tech compared to the PS3/X360. Nintendo core guys that wanted the same quality or better Call of Duty games or Assassin's creed games were out of luck that generation because of the technology gap. Also nintendo was a lot more interested in selling games that appealed to the casual market like WII MUSIC, WII SPORTS RESORT, and WII FIT. Which is okay, but they lost their market to tablets and smartphone games that offered a similar experience on the go and cheaper. To add Nintendo has been consistently flicking off their core gaming audience, which has caused a decline in that demographic for them. As a small scale example, this site used to be 90% nintendo fans, now it's like 70% sony fandom. There is a positive side tho, 3DS is an example of nintendo doing things correctly, but even that thing pales in comparison to the PS4s level of support from 3rd parties. 

 

Nintendo consoles need to go back to being 3RD party machines, if the switch was on par with the XONE, or a touch under it, that would be okay, since current gen games could be ported to it at a 720P resolution, which would be somewhat okay with an on the go experiece. Unfortunately with smartphone screens commonly being QHD now... people are going to notice a better picture quality on their phones that their high end gaming device, which is not good as the mobile market continues to eat the handheld gaming market .... we'll see what happens.....

I don't care about why people hated Wii. I am not here for excuses. People will hate. End of story.

 

Your analysis of 3DS support being inferior to PS4 support embarrassingly incorrect. But who cares when my point is valid and you said nothing to dispute it; rather, support it.
