| Nem said: You are right and you are wrong. Your points are valid. In the AAA 3rd party market, the switch will never make it very far, especially with the next PS/X coming out in a couple of years. Aslong as Nintendo have an underpowered system, AAA third party support will always be weak. But, what the switch can have is the japanese portable third party market. With the Vita done, japanese developers have to either go for the switch or completely go home console on the PS4. So, i think anyone buying a switch has to understand it's a Nintendo system and it's not gonna offer anything different from the Wii U with a pinch of 3DS. Now, it is also a fact that it's selling well. That is still a bit of a mistery. Who is buying it, if it's not a competent home console? I can only think it's the same people that bought a 3DS. It's a decently big enough crowd to support the system, but is that a sucess? Cause at that point we are comparing Wii U+3DS to switch. Is the switch truly a sucess when seen from that angle? Will it be able to grow that market? I have my doubts, but we'll see. |
Because it is not only a home console, it is a "hybrid". That concept was clearly spelt out in the marketing for it, apparently some understood it and some didn't or chose not to.
As some have pointed out, it is not even likely that the switch has reached its full potential yet, it should when the price point actually hits the portable price point. With the rate at which its library is growing, it would be unwise for anyone to still be betting against the Switch not surpassing 50m.
Personally, I think the Switch will continue to sell well until 4k TVs become the norm in homes.
