I think the ns is an attempt to satisfy their handheld and console (means home console) fans without splitting their efforts on game developement but I think that the are gonna still split their efforts because the games that do best on consoles and handhelds are different from eachother and they're trying to make each side happy. i agree with ya on switch mainly targetting handheld and only halfheartedly goes after home console market too but they are still spltting their effort between the two.  

 

Reply to bolded part.

"splitting up their game development efforts was imo one of the main reasons their home console pillar didn't do so well at several points"

I disagreed with that statement if that's the person you were referring to.

 

 

Hmm, if I understand you right, you mean they will still produce games that please the handheld crowd and games that please the home console crowd. I agree with you on this. But as both games count to the consoles games total it wouldn't be anymore splitted effort. Also, some games there ported to the other platform in the past, think Mario Maker or Smash. This is unneeded with the Switch.

Yes, that's what I mean and yeah both types counts towards the total (that don't really matter unless we're in a list war). What I mean about split effort is that the bulk of the games will likely canter more to one side than the other. I think it should sway more towards the handheld side. We'll see, though.
