Your assumptions don't line up with what Nintendo's been saying.

 

"This time, however, Fils-Aime told Wired that "3DS has a long life in front of it," and that Nintendo sees the Switch as "at its heart, it’s a home console that you can take with you on the go." That suggests the 3DS will continue to be the place Nintendo funnels games designed to be played portably, while the Switch gets games more tailored to the TV experience."

 

So no, I wouldn't expect a tangible increase in software for the Switch just because it's portable.

 

I take issue with the Switch because I do care about Nintendo games. I want access to these games but realistically I'd just leave it in its dock and buy a pro controller to use. With that in mind I just haven't seen the value in the system to justify the considerable cost.

Yeah, sure, the 3DS has a long life ahead of it lol. How gullible are you exactly? They said the same about the DS and look how that turned out.

1. The DS was a dedicated handheld while Nintendo is adamant that the Switch is a home console first and foremost. Now, I personally view the Switch as a handheld that plugs into a TV. Bit how Nintendo handles the system will be based on their perception of it, not mine. We don't even know that the 3DS won't get a successor.

 

2. You're still suggesting that some should buy a system based on little more than your series of assumptions. You also seem to be fond of the idea that anyone that doesn't prescribe to your assumptions is either biased or not a "real gamer".

 

Now, if have an actual point to make, by all means continue.
