Only viable if there are games for it. Relying on only third party games is not an ideal situation. Why? because there is no incentives for PS4 owners to go out and buy an Xbox console when they can get third party games on the PS4. Why do you think Switch are flying off the shelves? because they have games that you cant get anywhere else.

But the WiiU had the same games and was a disaster for nintendo. i think the marketing for switch was much better and the point that you can play on sofa during your girlfriend is watching tv is the biggest improvement and thats the reason why it is selling good.

The Wii U was a disaster, yes. But the exclusives that came out for it were flying off the shelves. Some people did go out to buy Wii U for those exclusives (not many but there were people like myself). We cant deny that exclusive dont sell consoles, main purpose of owning multiple consoles is so that you can play games that you cant get on the other.
