You are wrong, 2DS didn't confuse anybody and wasnt bad decision (despite ists not DS and dont have 3D), same would be with Switch Mini/Pocket, you have regular Switch but you would also had cheaper, smaller Switch Mini/Pocket just for handheld play, there is no any confusion. Smaller and cheaper Switch Mini/Pocket just for handheld play is almost certain thing when 3DS dies (probably will be 1st Switch revision), if some people here think that Nintendo will relase onother seperate handheld platform thats not part of Switch, there are very wrong. People need to realise that Switch is unfided Nintendo platform, and that Nintendo will not have any more separate handheld and separate home console platforms, with that on mind Switch like hybrid device will have multiple different type of revisions with difrent price points that will all be part of same platform, something similar like 3DS has. |
The difference between the 3DS and the Switch is that the 3D was, for most of its time, an useless feature.Thats why the 2DS was not an issue at all.The Switch capacity of switching between home and handheld form is another story completely.Its something far more fundemental than the 3D ever was.Therein lies the difference and why I believe something like the Switch mini will never happen.
And if price is an issue(since size is not a issue, given that people are more than accoustemed now to carry diveses that are larger than their pockets, and always carry some kind of backpack), when the 3DS is discontinnued, the price for a Switch will probably not only be in the range of 200 to 250(with used Switches going for lower than that), but they will also have good bundles.
My (locked) thread about how difficulty should be a decision for the developers, not the gamers.
