How did Nintendo mishandle this? At the presentation they announced that more than 80 games are in development for Switch and they showed footage for a good number of games. Nintendo can't do anything about gaming forums jumping to wrong conclusions. When someone like you says things like Zelda and Mario Kart don't count for much in the launch window, how is any of this Nintendo's fault? You only have yourself to blame for buying into the wrong narrative that is being pushed hard by other forum members. A simple example of this is the claim that Switch won't get third party support. You are prone to buy into such a narrative, because you aren't interested in fact-checking. But if you actually took an honest look at the big picture, you'd quickly notice that people aren't talking about third party support despite using that term. What they always mean is AAA support, but they don't use that term because that would still leave Nintendo with a lot of third party support and that would contradict the overall narrative of "Nintendo messed up again". In reality, Switch is set up to absorb the software pipelines of Wii U, 3DS and Vita. Meanwhile, the PS4 and XB1 won't get the third party support that has been home at handhelds; these two consoles are going to lose out on a lot of RPGs. |
I mentioned this earlier, but I'm curious what you think will happen. Right now, the PS4 is missing out on little to nothing, because almost every notable Vita game is a PS4/Vita title. Once the Vita is phased out in the next year or so, will they remain as PS4 titles? Go to PS4/Switch? End up as Switch only titles?
