Prediction: Nintendo switch, gen 1, will have a high fail rate lifetime. Second hands on impressions.

But why would anyone want another PS4 or XB1? Those can be bought already, in fact I have one of them.

People want something different. I honestly cannot understand why some people still think Nintendo should just make another PlayStation One Nintendo Edition...

Some people would have preferred to have two great consoles, one home, one handheld. Instead of a 300$ monstruosity that barely qualifies as one or the other.

It's like when car manufacturers tried to build a car that can turn into a boat. Maybe it's better to have the two separately. 

Most people aren't even asking Nintendo to make a 3TF or more home console. People would be happy to have a cheap console that is just on par with the rest. And in 2017, it's really not that hard to do that.

But who can honestly think Nintendo would be able to compete on the home console market right now? PS4 has already 50 million consoles, XB 30 million, the market is stale for new players and to worst things, WiiU has left a sour mouth on many users.

Nintendo can only truly compete on the Portable market, but to do that they had to present something different, something inovative. And a "portable console" with very decent graphics that can be connected to a TV to play inside is a great bet.

As for the "powerhouse" home console, let Sony and Microsoft chase each other and we will see the same as last gen, 50 million PS, 30 million XB and 70 million Nintendo's on the streets!
