And you probably didn't realize that Switch is not a traditional console and the same reasons that made 3ds succesful can easily make Switch succesful too. |
Except let's be honest here; millions of people bought the 3DS - and 2DS - becsuse its dirt cheap. It's always been easily possible to get a 2DS for £80 often with a game, and a 3DS for anywhere between £110 and £180 depending on the version and bundle, but the Switch? It's £280, not including a game. It's way beyond "it'll keep the kids quiet" or "I'll just grab of those for Christmas!" territory. So no, while it may be portable, it's not even close to the same situation as a 3DS; It's over double the price, isn't as easily portable as a 3DS, has fewer games than the 3DS - so on the portable front Nintendo are actually competing with themselves and losing as the 3DS will continue to sell more, and on the console side, it's the most expensive of the three, the least powerful with the fewest games. It's a great concept, but it really is a hard sell when you go beyond new gadget launch hype.
