Nintendo - Is the hype real? - View Post

There's hype, but I don't think it's in the same level as the Wii. Although I think the Switch have more legs. A lot of people complaining about it right now could probably buy one when the price decrease and it have some more cool games.

Actually, the hybrid thing is a smarter move than the gaming community is perceiving and it's the first Nintendo home console in years that can have a good direct true successor (I can see the SNES as a direct successor of NES, like PS1 and PS2 and so on, but N64 and Game Cube were their own thing and Wii U was not a good successor for the Wii although it's a direct one). Switch can be a strong brand, like the DS, and if everything go smooth as it should, a more powerful Switch 2 can have a great lifespan aside PS5 and the next Xbox. Or even keep getting its hardware upgraded, if the trend of "no generations" continues. Maybe even receiving good AAA third-party games in the future (not all of them though).
