Jez I gotta say, not even going to say it's awesome to see how the Switch is doing compared to the X1 and PS4 but just when you look back at the utter disaster that was the Wii-U and then see how the Switch is doing compared to that, have to tip my hat to Nintendo with it, I was very fairly pessimistic in the months pre launch but they've absolutely blown it outta the park with the Switch and while managing to keep the 3DS selling just as well as before.

Think about it every week Nintendo basically slip a bonus 50-100k more consoles into players hands with the 3ds alongside having either a contender for the number 1 spot each month this last year.

I am still a bit skeptical based on some of the targets that Nintendo has set based on price and what we know so far regarding their 2018 lineup. However, nevertheless, they have created a wonderful console that has had a great first year (well technically still not over, but it has been amazing thus far). As someone that really does not have a lot of time to dedicate to gaming on a TV, it has been phenomenal. This has been the dream portable I have been hoping for, so I really hope it continues to do well and get good games.
