But why they would do that if they can just make smaller Switch and continue working on exactly same games!? They can make smaller, cheaper, with stronger battery Switch and to continue working on exactly same hardware, OS and games.

Nonsense, of course they can make smaller Switch. Switch Mini/Pocket could have built in Joy Cons, dont need to be exactly same height or size, Switch Mini/Pocket would most likely be just for handheld play. All Switch games that have motion controls also have classic controls support (I think 1,2 Switch is only exception), even ARMS.

Far more logical and far more easier is just to make Switch Mini/Pocket, basically smaller Switch 4-5", with same 720p resolution, with built in Joy Cons, only for handheld play, stronger battery, with price point around $150-200 and of course that plays all Switch games (exept 1,2 Switch), so real Switch Mini/Pocket just for handheld play. I dont see any reason why Nintendo would do something like you are saying over what I wrote.

Yeah, I'm sure they would have a grand time trying to explain to consumers that "these Switch games only work with these type of Switches and these other Switch games only work with these other kinds of Switches" makes a lot of sense. Sounds a lot like what happened with the Wii/Wii U confusion, and that didn't go over well

How about instead they make a seperate platform, avoid that confusion altogether, give developers more options, and offer full 3DS/DS backwards compatibility in the process?

And for clarity, I'm not saying this is what I believe Nintendo should do, I'm just saying it's a reasonable possibility that shouldn't be dismissed.

Did you even readwhat he said? There is literally like one game, 1-2 Switch, that needs detached joycons. All others have a standard controller option (even arms). So by "these games" you mean just one game (which by the time of switch mini launch will have sold 99% of the copies it was going to sell anyways).

 

And we really need a seperate platform, because I would really like their dev teams split up and create long game droughts for switch. Great logic, my friend.



Bet with Intrinsic:

The Switch will outsell 3DS (based on VGchartz numbers), according to me, while Intrinsic thinks the opposite will hold true. One month avatar control for the loser's avatar.
