Was the Switch, in OP's words, dead on arrival or not? |
Yes and that statement is indeed incorrect. That's why I said "in a way" or partially if you prefer. OP also says that "Nintendo is doing the same mistakes as they did with WiiU" and that "it was WiiU all over again". That is I think not proven wrong so far, because the imbalance between 1st and 3rd party is looking essentially the same as with previous systems.
I plan to make a big analysis thread on Switch and 3rd parties in early Jan. 18 so let's all meet and discuss the situation there. I'll answer a few important point but let's get done with this thread.
Regarding Ubisoft , do you think Mario and Rabbids was not a big project? |
It is a big and successful project, but it's not a 3rd party game.
you don't have a switch and havn't been looking at the eshop i take it.. |

Regarding the indies talk, yes Switch is the ultimate indy machine, Bravo! But indies won't make the difference.
The flow of Switch titles is growing exponentially, many Indies have said their games were the most successful on the Switch, Bomberman, Street Fighter, Dragonball, etc. all sold well. There won't be a PS Vita or 3DS in Japan anymore in 2018, so where else should japanese third parties go |
No, Switch currently has 4 games scheduled for Q1 2018 in Japan, PS4 has 20. In the whole 2018, Switch has 20 3rd party games and PS4 60. Nothing "exponentional" here.
And yes there are several PSVita games scheduled for 2018.
