| Panama said: Not gonna lie. I do love that despite Nintendo constantly reiterating the Switch is not a handheld and theyll keep supporting the 3ds, when detractors point out valid issues with the device as a home console, devotees just keep going nah its a handheld. |
well to be fair on Nintendo's part that is purely marketing so they can continue to sell the 3DS for a while before the Switch drops price and start picking up the cheaper handheld-only consumers.
Obviously the Switch is a handheld, just look at the damn thing. It's a handheld with a dock so it can also play as a console, but it can also truly be considered a console since it gives console game experience.
Not sure how you don't get the point of Nintendo's marketing. The fact is that the Switch being a hybrid means it doesn't have to just live off AAA games that you expect on a console, because plenty of people will be using it more as a handheld and for them smaller games will cut it with the occasional console-type experience, and of course there will be plenty of console experiences on it, just not a ton of the AAA third party variety, but plenty of Ninty first party AAA games which are many of the best in the industry.
