Nintendo Switch is perfectly viable as a primary or even only gaming device...

Theres no release date for Metroid Prime 4 yet is there?

And I did have a Wii U.

Still its massively in favor of the PS4, game release wise imo.
To the point where Id suspect most still use the Switch as a side console.

You just missed:

 

Octopath Traveller

Xenoblade 2 Torna

Smash (in a week)

Mario Party

Mario Tennis Aces

Pokemon Lets Go

The only games that really appeal to me there are Octopath Traveller & Xenoblade 2.
I never enjoyed Smash as a fighter, and mario party & tennis are meh level games imo.

For many of us where portability is a factor, it is heavily against PS4.  Most people will pass on much of what you listed simply because they do not have the time to play at home.  For many of us, Switch as a primary will result in more games being enjoyed, despite the size of AAA libraries.

Shiken, I have to renew my objection to this thread’s premise. You’re inviting people to discredit Switch as a primary/only console—which they’re doing successfully, based on their personal priorities—and then disputing their posts, based on YOUR personal priorities. We haven’t moved the conversation forward at all, really, apart from arriving at “Switch is a good primary for some people”, which is a truism.

This type of stalemate also plays into my overall point, which is everything is subjective.  Those that simply argue that Switch CANNOT be a main or primary console, simply wish it to be the case.  An argument can be made for all of them depending on the person.
