| Azuren said: "Sabotage"? No. "Get vastly outperformed by versions of the game on stronger platforms"? Yes. The Switch's value lies in it's ability to go portable, so I expect portable-friendly genres like mini-game collections, Turn-Based RPGs, Tactics, and episodic games to do well in terms of sales. As far as performance is concerned, Switch users will have to cope with having the lowest-grade version of every game, whereas XBox/PlayStation gamers will have to deal with the scope of games being dialed back so they can feasibly make a Switch version. |
I think the reverse actually, Switch will do well in genres Nintendo has not done well in for a while.
Sports games, shooters, and open world epic games will do better on Switch than they have on the Wii U or even Wii in many instances IMO. They don't have to be the most recent versions either, but I can see FIFA, NBA2K, Skyrim, Ultra Street Fighter 2, etc. doing well enough on Switch.
Reason being Switch is actually a very appealling product to a hardcore player and unlike Wii U there is reason for a player to want to buy a Switch version instead of a Wii U version. Zelda is also doing great for that reason.
Things like mini-game comps are actually not going to do that well on Switch IMO. Look at Just Dance, it's probably being outsold by Neo Geo games.
