The Switch is not another Wii U!

As I said, DeNA makes the games. But by looking at SMR sales, it appears to be just an ad Nintendo makes some money with. The money coming from mobile at the moment is so little it's not even worth to bother for a company the size of Nintendo. 

No doubt Switch will eventually replace 3DS, if that's what the market want's, but we'll have to wait for the next revision for that to happen.

Nothing you have said debunks anything I've posted so whats your point? You just repeated what I said about DeNA, you harp on about SMR I'll simply point to the near Billion Pokemon Go made in 7 months which blows your argument about it not generating enough money out the water.

We're not waiting for any revision 3DS will be done the end of this year and phased out afterward much like the Wii U was last year despite some of you insisting Switch wouldn't replace either.

For one, Pokemon Go is a game that needs lots of constant maintainance, which goes against pretty much everything you've been pointing out with saving resources. Secondly, Pokemon Go is a third party game, with Nintendo's share being "pocket change" in relation to parties that are actually involved.

What you need to look, is Super Mario Run; that's a game that represents Nintendo's mobile strategy. Games they put out, are first and foremost ads Nintendo is able to monetise.

A model with better portability is the one that's supposed to replace 3DS. However, it's market that decides.

The Switch needs third party support no doubt about that, but it does not need the third party support of the PS4 or Xbox One. The 3rd party support the Switch needs is the same of the 3DS. Specific titles made from the ground up for that system that utilizes its strongest features. For example games like Kingdom Hearts 3D, Monster Hunter 4 and even well done ports (even if not as graphically impressive as on other hardware) will be great as they are portable versions that people can take anywhere only on Nintendo Switch.

Thank you. Why is this idea so difficult for people to grasp?

Because.

Not only the third parties on 3DS, but also indies Nintendo's been warming up with Wii U (and 3DS) and it's likely Nintendo tries to do everything it can to have popular mobile games on Switch.
