Really??? Good point? Come on Rolstoppable I really did not care for Vivster comment and I won’t express how I felt about his post. But don't go and encourage it.
I'm sure quite a few people like myself have click on the link and read the full article. I wish more people would take more time to read and get a full understanding before leaving uninformed comment that may or may not relate to the message that OP was trying to convey.
The Wired article is discussing a real issue with the Switch, the console is targeting die-hard video games fans. Sure, some of them might blindly buy whatever is being offered by Nintendo. But, take the WiiU for example the number of Die-hard Nintendo fan has skrunked and is shrinking. Less than 15 million WiiU were sold worldwide.
Yet Nintendo messaging is all over the place with Switch, seem to me like they want to target the casual market but they priced themselve out of that market at $299 and underpowered consoles that promise to play console games on the go won't appeal to most Die-hard video game fans that enjoy high end graphics.
If Nintendo switch only appeal to small niche market rather than the masses they are in huge trouble.
Just read the Ubisoft thought on Switch:
"Of course, one publisher which has committed in a big way is Ubisoft. The firm announced three games for Switch (Just Dance, Rayman Legends and Steep), far more than any other third-party."
This is really troublesome concidering that Ubisoft brought a new IP (zombiU) and 6 titles for the WiiU launch. Nintendo's third party support is in even more dire situations then it ever was on any previous consoles.
EDIT: Fixed the link to the gamesindustry article.
