- 300 bucks

- the design has too many buttons, 2 thumbsticks, and the color and shape look like a hardcore gaming device. I mean look at the Wii, look at the DS lite, now look at the Switc, spot the differences. It's pretty simple to see why they won't respond well

- Nintendo didn't make any  games using the touch screen or didn't promote the touch screen

-Too complicated for casuals too, the joy cons, the modularity. I've been saying for the last 3 months, and now a lot of the media are finally saying the same. That system tries to do so many stuffs, it gets really confusing for non-hardcore gamers

-Where are the casual games? Where is mario 2D? Animal Crossing? Mii? And so on

 

The only casual thing I can think of is 1.2 switch, good luck selling that 50 bucks game with a 300 bucks console to casuals. They are going to rush in to buy it...

 

I really don't know why people think casuals would be interested in the Switch, besides Reggie saying "we are targeting everybody, it's made for everybody".

Well then it sures looks like they tried to put everything to please everybody, but that doesn't mean that it's a good fit for the casual market.

If you don't know what it means to be casual don't say anything at all. $300 is not casual? Iphones cost $700. The color makes it hardcore? Just stop

yep, the color too makes it hardcore.

And stop comparing the price people put into an iphone (by the way most of them have a payment plan they don't just pay 700 $ upfront) and the price they would put into a dedicated gaming machine.

Most parent even prefer to buy a tablet for their kids, because they'll be able to do other things than just playing, like watching youtube.

 

I thought people here on VGchartz would have some knowledge of today's market, but you're like most gamers out there, blinded by your passion for gaming. Unable to see what is right in front of you.
