"Why does Nintendo ignore us?!?!?!?"

But can we certainly say that the general consumer doesn't want to use the Switch as a portable?

We can't say anything for certain either way without analytical data.  What I'm pretty sure of, though, is that here in the United States there are many adult gamers who don't have much desire for a handheld gaming device.  We drive wherever we go and aren't going to take another device with us on the off-chance we have to wait somewhere.

The Switch TV actually wasn't as bad of an idea as I originally stated. I will admit I was harsh on it. 

 

The actual conversation for the thread was rather interesting, and people did present how it would fold out within the next several years. Besides my typical snarky remarks, the only issues I have regarding it is its success, additional features, and how they'll deal with handheld-only games. The handheld only problem is minor, but how much it sells would answer how big the handheld aspect of the Switch is.

 

Anyways, I would like to apologize for coming off rude. As terrible as the second/third points are, I certainly could've presented it better. Oh well.

No problem.  Personally, I would not have had nearly as much of an issue with this thread except for the Switch TV thing.  Also, I predicted a minimum of 40M for the Wii U so I can't say much, either.

If Nintendo made a Switch TV, would they make it as cheap as possible or would they make it 299 and add additional features? 

 

I now see them making expansions. After all, expansions make money. This hypothetical Switch TV however would show whether or not the hybrid aspect of the Switch is a big reason for its success. Unfortunately, I'm sure Nintendo would lump all Switch sales together,  so we wouldn't see whether a Switch TV would be a flop or not
