| Superman4 said: 3DS is a different type of device that sells for less and makes them more profit. Switch while portable isn't exactly a pocket portable like 3DS. Once the PS5 is released in 2019 Sony will stop producing the standard PS4 and drop the price on the PS4 Pro making it the bargain 4K console and the PS5 the next gen powerhouse. Nintendo will be done with the switch by 2020. |
Almost everything is here wrong. Switch will also offcourse be cheaper and there will be Switch Mini/Pocket/Lite, and some other potential revisions. Once PS5 is relased, sales of PS4 will go down in any case not up. Offcourse that Nintendo will not be done with Switch buy 2020. (in next 3 years, while Switch is on market curently just 8 months), it's actually much more likely that will have long life similar to 3DS and also with multiply revisions. Switch is unifeded Nintendo platform now that's actually will be very successful, ofcourse Nintendo will not abondid it just only 3-4 years after launch.
Also if you really want to compare Switch and 3DS, Switch is in same time home console while 3DS is only handheld, so Switch aims at two markets in same time, home console and handheld market in same time, second Switch offers local multiplayer out of box even without TV (in handheld or tabletop mode), and third Switch will have home console system seller IPs that 3DS didn't had, huge new 3D Zelda, Splatoon, huge big console 3D Mario, Metroid Prime...and big 3rd party games like Doom or Skyrim..., but will also have big handheld IPs that Wii U did had (like Pokemon, Animal Crossing, Fire Emblem...). So Switch will be/already is more appealing console for hole market than 3DS was, and it will sell more than 3DS.
