I agree with u,  it's trying appeal to everyone , it's not unique, and not innovative, but it's still innovative on it's way, they trying to attract all consumer on one device (handled, casual, core gamers) , maybe the primary target are not mobile gamer, but it was made primary for people who like to go mobile, or they trying to put mobile concept   to oppose a normal looking consoles which has very powerful hardware. my conclusion it's still Wii U on handled size.  except for the hardware ( Wii U benefit from Power to oppose PS3 and Xbox 360)  Switch focus on mobile. 

If we're being perfectly honest it is basically an expansion of the Wii U concept. 

The Wii U let you play games on the TV and away from the TV but only within a certain amount of space.

Switch basically just takes that idea and makes the system fully portable. I think even Mr. Miyamoto said at the NYC event they wouldn't have a Switch without a Wii U. 

Wouldn't surprise me even if Switch began it's life as a Wii U redesign, probably one reason why Nintendo never bothered to make a slimmer/redesigned Game Pad .... they were saving it for this. 

That doesn't mean it's doomed to the Wii U's fate though as being semi-portable versus fully portable is functionally a fairly large difference. 

Yeah Switch concept  is how Wii U supposed to be, but at that times they dont have the tech and in hurry to releasing the consoles .  Overal it will not fail like Wii U. and i bet it will be beast in term of sales, it will have both 3DS market and Wii U market, and also casual from Wii era market, and believe me people who already own PS4, Xbox One and PC will buy this for the exclusive. The problem now is just the price. But i hope it will getting price cut on every year (i hope so)
