Kerotan said: The only thing people are not considering when they bring up this point is ps4 is not a replacement for a handheld and a home console. If the ps4 was portable aswell then this would be valid in this sense. Like the Switch is replacing the Wii U and the 3DS. The ps4 is replacing just the ps3. If the Switch was say just a home console then I'd primarily compare it to just the Wii U. If the Switch was just a portable I'd compare it to the 3DS. Do you see what I'm saying? |
You'd be making a valid point if the Switch was replacing the 3DS. Instead, you're talking nonsense.

"3DS has a long life in front of it. We’ve already announced games that will be launching in the first couple quarters of this year. There are a number of big games coming. And in our view, the Nintendo 3DS and the Nintendo Switch are going to live side-by-side. You’re going to be meeting different price points, you’re going to be meeting different types of consumers, you’re going to have the newest, freshest content available on Nintendo Switch, you’ve got a thousand-game library available on Nintendo 3DS, plus some key new ones coming. They’re going to coexist just fine. We’ve done this before, managing two different systems.
I think there’s a sense that Nintendo Switch is a portable device. It is portable. But at its heart, it’s a home console that you can take with you on the go."

"Our intention has always been to have Nintendo 3DS and 2DS side by side with the Switch, It's great that we have even more momentum [with the 3DS] than we anticipated, but it's always been our position to have these two products side by side."
"We have heard speculation that Nintendo Switch will replace the Nintendo 3DS, as both are game systems that can be played outside the home, but Nintendo 3DS has unique characteristics that differ from those of Nintendo Switch. Furthermore, the price points and play experiences offered by the two systems are different and we do not see them as being in direct competition. We plan to continue both businesses separately and in parallel."
