The point was about PS1 and X360 being succesfull even thought they didn't had much 1st party content which nullifies the notion that Switch-like HW could only be sucessful with strong 1st party games. The point of they being skeptical isn't valid since the devs have put games for consoles and HH before, so the fact that it's hybrid shouldn't make it impossible when the companies have good relationship.

The companies could be skeptical, but that is what relationship and bringing aboard is about, and presenting the project in a way to entice they

There is a difference between could have and did. Sony pulled PSP good and screwed PSVita... doesn't mean their hybrid would be either of the cases.

If we were to put the failures as a mean of impossibility than Wii and Switch shouldn't be good sellers since N64, GC and WiiU were hard floppers. And GBA and DS should also be bad since Virtua Boy.

I've had nice conversations with you before, so rather than get into a fight I'll stept back here because at this point it feels like you're willfully missunderstnding me.

The whole point is that a hybrid IS and entirely new concept. Yes, both home consoles and Handhelds have been established in the market, largely by Nintendo for amost 30 years now. A hybrid is not. Third parties are sceptical of new things.

This is not me making unsubstatiated claims either, there's literally industry talks about the topic (of new things) long preceding the Switch and heck official press releases about the Switch itself stating as much. AAA third parties do not like any kind of risk. There would not be full third party support for any console makers hybrid console out of the gate.

I don't feel like there can be much contention on that point without turning a blind eye to basic industry realities. If you disagree, fine, have a good night (it's nightime where I am..:P).

No issue man. It's basically just opinion that you think Sony/MS couldn't make hybrid first and be a success while I think Sony could, but since this won't ever happen since Switch already is a sucess it's a fruitless discussion =] good night.
