i gave enough reasons.
1: mobile m will limit handheld growth, and we will continue to the market shrinking 2: nintedo home consoles since the 3r era have had there best year the first year, GC, N64, AND WIIU. 3 :Most nintedo fans will buy switch first year, because it has the essentials zelda, mario, mario kart, and splatoon, 3 of those are the highest rated games of time ,and nintedo has never released so many of there biggest franchises in one year, thats are this highly acclaimed |
1. A lot of people have said the same thing about PC growth and the death of console gaming; yet that never came to fruition. Yes there is now more competition for Switch, but that does not mean that it cannot be successful (and the same occurred with the home consoles). Also game revenue on PC and mobile are higher than portable consoles and home consoles, that does not mean that there is no room for growth of portable consoles and home consoles (also the same was said about entry-level DSLR market disappearing because camera phones were introduced; that never ended up happening either). The truth is the experience the people get on a mobile phone is vastly different than what a system like Switch offers (far more so, even, than the difference between console and PC games, which largely do not differ greatly).
2. N64 had its best year in its second year on the market (FY1998) and GC also peaked in its second year. Also none of these systems suddenly stopped selling both the N64 and GC has third-years that were comparable to their second year.
3. The 3DS received Zelda, Mario Kart, 3D Mario, Star Fox, Monster Hunter, and a price cut in its first year, yet it did not peak in that year. Nintendo has still not released big sellers like 2D Mario (and Mario Maker), Animal Crossing, Smash Bros, and Pokemon (and potentially other Zelda games; since there are typically 2 per system). Not to mention lesser selling but still popular games like Luigi's Mansion, Mario Party, Donkey King etc. And of course the more niche support games like Kirby, Yoshi, Fire Emblem, Metroid, Star Fox. On top of that there is potential for unknown new IPs (that Nintendo has confirmed are in development) to be successful (much like Splatoon ended up being) and there are third-party games that tend to well on Nintendo systems that have yet to be released (DQ, many level-5 franchises, etc.). Again this does not lament that the system will have necessarily get all of these titles (and hence being successful) but this arsenal gives Nintendo Switch a great deal of potential.
