I have serious doubts it ll be as big as the Wii was.


I think theres two kinds of views of it:

1) its a cool handheld (powerfull handheld) that can also play on your tv (expensive handheld).
2) its a homeconsole (really weak) and its overpriced for its hardware (competitors x3 power & cheaper)

The 2nd view point seems to be pretty popular on youtube.

I dont think they ll do 100m with the switch.

It all about how you market it and I believe mainstream media and the general public are seeing its potential as a new way to get both experiencies in one single device. Wii was a glorified GC with a silly controller if we look back.
