I honestly can't see the Switch filling the shoes of 3DS, the whole format, pricing and content is wrong. Could it be a competitive product with tablets and mobiles in general again I don't think so. I don't know what level of apps support the Switch will have but I feel much functionality people expect won't be provided including email, internet browsing, taking photos, youtube, mp3, video, streaming services etc in addition to games. Will Switch games be competitive with android and ios games I don't think so. People may even be expecting to get Nintendo games on android and Ios now what with Mario run etc. I'm not saying the Switch can't be successful but I certainly can't see it succeeding with the current sku and pricing. That is a total lemon. Nintendo just don't make any effort to be competitive nowadays and the Switch takes it even further into a niche. |
I don't disagree with the price being too high, it may end up hindering the Switch. Unlike the online paywall, the price barrier can be resolved though.
Soundwave is suggesting the same, he is implying Nintendo will cut the price of the Switch in 2018, and possibly introduce a Switch Mini to make that happen, which is something I've been arguing will happen as well.
