| Miyamotoo said: 3DS is dying and Nintendo already moved focus from 3DS to Switch, Nintendo will completely abandone 3DS next year. Switch concept is very good and very appealing for mass market its actualy better and more appeling even 3DSs ones, and actually strong 1st party titles are what sells Nintendo hardware. 3DS had very high price point for just a handheld and didn't had must have games at first, but price cut and some strong titles completely changed things for 3DS. Switch on other hand doesn't has high price for hybrid and actually right away has huge system seller game and MK8D also is releasing already. We will know at end of 2017. how exactly good Switch sales, but fact that is console that has best launch and that there is big demand on market, and fact that will have big heavy hitters and system sealers in its 1st month tells us that Switch will have prette good sales. Its simply, If you want Pokemon, 3D Zelda, 3D Mario, Splatoon, Mario Kart...or some 3rd party game like MH, and you are handheld or home console lower, you will most likly buy Switch, not to mention that there will be lots a new people who will be attract to have all those games (handheld and home console) on single device. Yes there will be some handheld lovers who think that Switch is too big or extensive, but there will be smaller/cheaper Switch also for them, storage of Switch is very easily expandibkle and Switch in dock mode gives full home console/stationary experience/capabilites.there will be some people who want just home console play and they want to pay $300, they will wait for price cut or maybe we will have Switch for home console use. Revisions are good thing, with revision we have more price points of platform that aims at different price points and need of market, just look currently at 3DS, it covers market from $80 to $200 price point, even PS4 now has PS4 Slim and Pro. It would be very bad business if Nintendo have only Switch version of hardware, especially when lower price point 3DS dies. Actualy Switch can be very attractive for mobile gamers, Switch fit in middle of mobile gaming and PS4/XB1 gaming, so definitely Switch will attract some of mobile and casuals gamers. Actually Switch will have at least solid Japanese 3rd party support, and how instal base and popularity of Switch sales rise, there will more 3rd parties on board. 3DS and Vita are first handhelds released in mobile gaming gen, so of course they sold less than DS and PSP, but despite mobile gaming, 3DS will still sell around 70m. I really don't see any weakness of Switch expect weak 3rd party support for now. Switch is definatly difrent to PS4/XB1, but doenst need to be more exasiting than PS4/XB1 (but will easily outsell XB1 in any case), put point is that Switch is that kind of product that can easily coexist on market with PS4/XB1 and actually it will be great secondary console for some PS4/XB1 owners. Switch definitely could be 100m+ success with revisions and longer life than Wii (Wii didnt had long life, Nintendo pulled Wii support in 2010/2011), IMO for now it seems it can be at least 3DS level success. |

You honestly can't see that your main points revolve entirely around your subjective suppositions? You're not objectively calculating market factors, weighing demographics properly or adding any sort of possible critical angle at all, it's just everything is great and will work great because you say it is so and you're not making any good arguments here at all.
If a console's massive success hinges completely on your personal observation based in an extremely deep-rooted bias, that's a huge problem and has no real value in a debate. I guess we'll just have to wait and see then, and that's fine, it's like either of us will lose our internet connection any time soon.
