No, they are not.

It also doubles as a great home console. 

Marketing expenses are not greater than during Wii U era.  Check their financials.  The message is just better.

Sales are up, revenue is up, profits are up, marketing costs are pretty much flat. 

Sorry but a home console from 2017 with the power of the boosted ps3 that didnt even come with a decent controller for home console play while the ps4 (way stronger, better lineup) is around 250$ isnt a great home console.

 

If your looking for a home console only and dont like/need the mobility factor + arnt a big nintendo fan (who wouldve bought the new nintendo system no matter what), there really isnt any logical reason to get this system over a ps4.

 

If you like the possibility to use it on the go its great (strongest handheld currently) but if you arnt interested in it, this is just not your console.

 

 

I dont know about their marketing budgets but if they really pay the same as for the wii u they defiitly screwed the wii u up heavily. The wii u had almost no adds, there was no super bowl add and i know many gamers that didnt even know about the wiiu for several years. The switch is handled alot better.

 

According to Nintendo, only about 31 percent of people use their Switch only as a handheld: http://gamrconnect.vgchartz.com/thread.php?id=232578

I'd say it's a great console. Any console that has Breath of the Wild, Splatoon, Mario Kart and Mario Odyssey is a great console. The rest of your post is just Captain Obvious stuff.
