Who is more excited for Switch, console or handheld gamers?

I've always had a bit of a grudge against the Vita. Stealing away Wipeout and Valkyria Chronicles, same with 3ds getting Ni No Kuni way before I got to play it. Plus I never heard the end of how great professor Layton is from friends. (My kids have a 2DS, no tv out unfortunately)
So although the launch line up is pretty bad, the Switch has great potential.

That's the great thing about it, there is nothing to steal anything away from the Switch, it's a dockable console, that's why I was happy about it, but I think a lot of people are caught on raw power while it's docked rather than the potential of it also being a valid portable device.

For me the main benefit is that it brings portable games to my tv, and hopefully they'll be modified slightly to also fit the big screen. I've connected my psp to the tv before and it's just not meant for it. Even MGS Peace walker in the HD collection didn't feel like it belonged. Same with other ps vita/psn cross titles. They always look out of place due to the UI being made for a handheld. Ports from Vita games do work as the controls and UI have been revamped. So perhaps now games will be made to work as well in portable and big screen mode from the start.

Anyway that's the main advantage, a much bigger library to choose from. And a combined audience to make games for should also attract more developers. Yet paying a 50% premium on a handheld, or only get 25% of expected performance might be too much for some for that comined library. As the poll stands now, it is too much for 6 of 39 (15%) of handheld gamers, and 15 of 34 (44%) of console gamers.
