Lol. When you take things out of context or ignoring what I wrote, fact is that power dont sell Nintendo hardware, and I mention 3DS like proof of that, you have also Wii and DS lite proof of that, or even GC for that matter.

Also, I agreed, with Kerotan that Switch is selling great on first place in Japan because it's partly handheld, but another huge deal is that Switch has very high value like hybrid device with two controllers out of box, so Switch is not selling just becuse it $300 handheld. And like I wrote to him, you could bet that only $300 handheld wouldn't see nearly like Switch is selling currently. I disagree with Kerotan on many points and gave him clear examples and strong point, in most cases fact, for each point. You are again wrong, I made thread to point that Switch is not selling only because it's partially handheld, but because hole hybrid concept with great value.

So you were obviously lying about things above.

 

 

Yes, Switch is selling beacuse few key reasons, but power is not one of them:

-Great hybrid concept, that allows console to act like real home console and like real handheld, and great value of such a concept especially because Switch comes with two controller for local multiplayer out of box.

-Great system seller launch and 1st year game, games that sells hardware (Zelda BotW, MK8D, Splatoon 2 and soon Mario Odyssey).

-Good marketing and branding, Switch marketing and branding is great, and doing great job.

 

 

Yes, $300 only just Switch home console would sell much worse than curent Switch, but same goes for only $300 only just Switch handheld, value of Switch would be much worse in any case than curent Switch has.

 

You are again lying, beacuse from start I saying that Switch is seling great beacuse of hybrid concept, and I agree with him that Switch like hybrid has good price and very good value. My point is very simple, Switch wouldn't sell like is selling now even in Japan, if it's just $300 handheld, like I wrote, Switch has very high value like hybrid device with two controllers out of box.

Damn. I never knew I could be so wrong. I am however, curious as to how I can be a liar. See, I am wearing shorts at the moment, and they are actually quite moist, due to an accident with the hose out front. Prove to me now how I can scientifically be wrong.

1. "Kerotan's point is that the Switch is selling in Japan mainly because it is a handheld and because it has enough power to run home-console quality games in a handheld form."

-First Kerotan never wrote something like that in one sentence, or my answer to something like that was "No, like I said power is not what sells Nintendo consoles", I actually agreed with Kerotan that Switch is selling on first place because it's partly handheld in Japan.  So, wrong or lie, like you suit more.

2. "No, like I said power is not what sells Nintendo consoles". Repeat this 2 times and it's supposed to work because ... you say so? No explanation, no paragraph backing up your claim, nothing.

-My answer, "fact is that power dont sell Nintendo hardware, and I mention 3DS like proof of that, you have also Wii and DS like proof of that, or even GC for that matter". So, wrong or lie, like you suit more.

3. "It's not selling because it's a portable guys!!!! It's not selling because it's a handheld guys!!!"

-My answer, "I made thread to point that Switch is not selling only because it's partially handheld, but because hole hybrid concept with great value". So, wrong or lie, like you suit more.

4. "Kerotan is even agreeing with you that the Switch is selling because it's a hybrid, and instead of throwing him a bone you continue to needlessly argue because you want to downplay the portability as much as possible, so that you can make it seem like the success of the Switch is even more amazing."

-My answer, "from start I saying that Switch is seling great beacuse of hybrid concept, and I agree with him that Switch like hybrid has good price and very good value". So, wrong or lie, like you suit more.

You were maybe just not on purpose wrong, but hole your post sounds very angry and you accusing me through hole post even it was obvious you were wrong, so I maybe thought that from those reasons you were wrong (or lied) on purpose. I am sory if that isnt a case and I call you a liar beacuse of that.

@miyamotoo a $300 handheld Switch would actually still sell the same because of splatoon 2. 

And you keep saying power isn't one of the reasons it's selling. But on the other hand you mention it's power is necessary for it to succeed as a functioning hybrid. 

Checkmate.

Lol, of course that $300 only Switch handheld wouldn't sell same, despite Splatoon 2 (also remember that Switch was completely outsold from launch and monts before Splatoon 2 launch, so its not like that Switch is selling in Japan only beacuse of Splatoon 2), value of whole system would be much less in evre case, so despite Splatoon 2 (or any other game) much less people would be willing to pay $300 for only handheld device, espacily handheld thats not exatly best handheld (because its size it's definitely not most practical and definitely don't have good battery life). In that case Switch would probably need to have fast price cut, similar like 3DS did.

When people buying Switch they look at hybrid nature of Switch and games, they don't look at power of Switch, they dont look how much CPU and GPU are strong, or what type and amont of RAM has, people watching those things when looking XB1/PS4/Pro/Scorpio beacuse they are just traditional home consoles and there are differences in resolution or frame rate in huge number of multi platform games depending on hardware.

Not even close, you are terrible in chess. :)
