Yes, and the calculation they made is that a large enough portion of their userbase care enough about handhelds that they can focus on that. Enough of their players are either handheld exclusive, or play on both handheld and consoles that it made the most financial sense.

However, that means that if you're someone who is a Nintendo fan, but doesn't play on a handheld, Nintendo no longer has a system for you.

It's not a sense of entitlement. After twenty years of buying their consoles Nintendo has said they don't want my business and I'm not the only one.

Thats not the calculation they made, thats the way it is, period. You can look at the sales of the portables versus the home consoles and there is a big difference. Cant really blame them for going more handheld, i get it that you feel you are being shafted but sometimes you gotta take a limb to save the whole body

Your post is pretty much exactley what I'm saying. Nintendo probably saw that maybe half of all Wii U owners didn't also own a 3DS, realized that they could provide a better product to that 50-60 million person block of gamers by leaving behind a 6-7 million block of gamers.

It makes total sense for Nintendo. But if you're like me, as in someone who just wants to sit in front of his tv with a normal controller and play Nintendo games, you'd be paying for a lot of stuff you're never going to use by buying the Switch.
