Fair play for Nintendo for providing a big shipment. Still not big enough though.

I feel the success of these retro consoles Will damage the prospects of a virtual console

Why? The retro consoles contain games for $2-4 a piece if we completely ignore the hardware itself. On Virtual Console the games would be more expensive than that, nevermind that Switch is portable and therefore provides additional incentive for people to buy VC games.

So for one, Virtual Console would provide higher profit margins for game sales, and two, there's really no good reason why Nintendo and others shouldn't sell their old games through two different methods.

Yeah, also VC is on Wii, WiiU and 3DS. Only one of those is an unpopular platform, so a lot of people already have access to VC and these mini console still sell gangbusters. So it's not like putting the VC on Switch would have adverse effects on selling these retro mini consoles either.

There really is no reason to not put the VC on Switch. Why would they let the newly developed emulators go to waste?
