You're going to have to tell Nintendo its not a blue ocean. They still call it that. Nintendo needs to be adaptable if they are going to have any chance at success. They need to be the tablet that replaces the other tablets. They need far more functionality than they have at launch and they need to be sensible about prices. They are doing none of these right now. |
They...they do?
But yes, I've been a proponent of Nntendo making the Switch into a fully functional tablet, and gotta admit I was disappointed to hear that it does nothing but games at launch. All they really needed to start with were a few Social Media apps, Youtube, Netflix, and a web browser. The fact that they couldn't even have these ready for launch I think proves that they're rushing to have the system out before the end of the fiscal year.
Either way, due to the importance of the Switch for Nintendo, I'm fairly certain they'll be constantly adding functionality to make it a more attractive purchase, especially if it runs into sales trouble after launch -- which I kind of expect to happen, tbh.

Because that would kill the Switch. Hell, make a controller mod for my Moto Z Force. *I know some devices can use a controller. I'm taking about using one without any extra effort on the consumers part* |
Someone could make the same thing, but without the advantage of some kind of physical game storage medium and a strong First Party, would have a hard time winning over most "hard core" gamers. That's still probably why Nintendo was so secretive about the idea to start with, though. They didn't want someone coming in and stealing their thunder before they could even unveil their device.
