In the handheld realm there is no one to compete with! Also look at NIntendo's games. Splatoon is a shoot but it is unlike any shooter I ever played. Arms is a fighter bub it is unlike any other fighter out there today. Mario Kart is nothing like most best selling racers. The Switch has both Blue Ocean games and hardware. Hopefully Nintendo never goes for the hardcore gamer ever again or it will be the Wii U all over again. |
Not games.
The Switch games are very conventional, they are not being driven by the likes of 1,2 Switch, ARMS, etc. but by the standard Nintendo IP and third party games.
Wii U was marketed to casuals/kids almost exclusively, and Nintendo's 1st year lineup for it was NSMBU, Nintendo Land, Sing Party, Wonderful 101, Pikmin 3, Mario 3D World, Wii Fit U, Wii Sports Club, Mario & Sonic Olympics, Game & Wario ... the idea that that was a "hardcore" game console is laughable. If Switch had as many casual games from Nintendo it would be failing too.
Switch is succeeding by fitting in with core gamers who want more flexibility in how they play console games. Not by banking on soccer moms and people who don't know how to play core games.
