Why not? Would be a cheaper device as well. Not everyone actually gives a crap about handhelds.
| monocle_layton said: 2. The Switch apparently is weak because the Joycons. You know, it's totally not because it's $299 and the strongest handheld you can get with a 3 hour battery |
And yet. The console could be more powerful. With longer battery life.
| monocle_layton said: 3. The SNES mini means Nintendo is going third party. Why? Well, because fuck you. That's why. |
Do you have a link to someone making this kind of claim? Because it is nonsensical.
| monocle_layton said: 4. Switch is a flop because the PS4 (on pace to outsell the Wii) is being outsold. Not like it being a juggernaut and the Switch experiencing stock issues impacts it at all. |
The Switch is far from a flop.

It's only "dumb" in your opinion. Some of it is legitimate needs/wants/desires.
| monocle_layton said: The Gamecube was a powerful console, but look at what happened. |
The gamecubes hardware wasn't what stopped it from being a sales powerhouse.
In-fact the Gamecubes hardware would eventually become the basis for the Wii anyway.
| AlfredoTurkey said: The Gamecube didn't use DVD-9 discs like the PS2 and Xbox and it also didn't have a full second analog stick. Games like GTA 3 would have been nearly impossible. That argument (Gamecube was powerful and it failed) has always been a total fail and it needs to stop being used. Power was not what killed the Gamecube. Limited media did it in. |
Exactly. The Gamecube failed not because of it's hardware capabilities but for a plethora of other reasons, like not adopting industry standards such as CD and DVD which was a big selling point for the Playstation 2.
Besides, going with more moderate hardware obviously does not guarentee success either. The Wii U being a prime example.
Contrary to popular belief you can have power, affordability, great games and be successfull. Sony did it this generation with the venerable Playstation 4.
