Past history when MS/Sony/Nintendo announce new hardware it gets nods on these news networks.

I guess we can wait for NX reveal to see if I'm right as its a lot harder to find historical views of these sites.

So.. in the end, did the Switch launch really receive wide mainstream attention?

- Whereas often there will be tidbits in late night television and other video media during their appropriate segments.

I wonder what live news topics will be about tonight and/or my local radio stations will talk about on my drive home and/or my drive in the morning to work?

They wanted local news, radio stations, CNN, The Today Show, etc anyone who runs a tech segment to make mention of PS4 Pro.

Of course, the announcement of a new iPhone will get the majority of mainstream attention any day.

But the quite launch of the Switch tells us that PS4 Pro probably wouldn't have made it to local news, radio stations, etc. anyway if it had been revealed a week apart from the iPhone 7. Especially since PS4 Pro is just a hardware revision and as people pointed out to you, only a new generation of hardware can hope for mass media coverage.
