And why are we conveniently ignoring the side of their business that has sold over 75 million each generation? Switch isnt just a console, its also a handheld so we have to compare it to both, not just one or the other. Their handhelds have never once received ports of current AAA console games and have all done well so no reason to think they all of a sudden need them now. Switch is the successor to 3DS, Wii U and essentially Vita (replaces it as the high end portable) so we should expect it to receive similar 3rd party support that those devices got which is a steady flow of small-medium sized games which includes Indie games Japanese games Kid/family games Previous gen ports/remasters
Those are the primary 3rd party titles it gets and will continue to get. Any AAA multiplat titles it recieves is just an added bonus. |
I treat Switch for what it's being treated: home console on the go. And as fair as treatment goes, gamers and both Nintendo and developers, are treating it as such.
If i decided to compare it to a portable, that would be a mistake.
The perception and expectations for Switch or that of a home console, not those of a handheld.
Also, their handhelds lived pretty well without competition.
The only time that was different, was when PSP came to the market. But then, Nintendo had a DS.
At the end of the day, people are perceiving it as a console and it's also being treated as such.
If that's all Switch gets it will fall short of what it could achieve and that's not something that anyone who likes the console, wants to see happen.
