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.

Nintendo keep pushing it as a home console though. That automatically in my mind says it is way to weak. As a handheld Ihave no problems with it. I and many others were hoping that the dock would have extra beef for the console to work in home console mode that would get it closer to PS4 level.
