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

For many it is the opposite.  The X1 has nothing I want that is not also on PS4 or Switch, so currently it is nothing more than a netflix machine for me.

 

See my reply above for my points on Switch though, because that sums up why the Switch is no less a primary than the others.

Yeah, but you have a PS4, which means you already have access to much of the X1 library. But having a X1 gives access to a huge catalog of Xbox and 360 games which is a notable feature. If PS4 and Switch did that then it would be a notable feature as well. I mean one moment we say having access to old games doesn't matter, but then people boast about PS Now, the sales of NES/SNES mini and the PlayStation Classic was hyped before we knew it sucked.

Any who, it really is a matter of personal taste. But for most people on this forum, having Switch as your primary or only console is a joke.

I have already seen a good number of people in other threads showing the contrary, and a few of them within this very thread as well.  I mean the fact that some 3rd party games that come out on Switch seem to outsell X1 versions is evidence that portability matters to many.

 

Fact is, even the majority of an online forum does not come close to accounting for the general public.  To think otherwise is lying to yourself.

 

All 3 are valid primary consoles based on the needs of a gamer, and as it stands, I see no evidence of the contrary.  Only arbitrary arguments made by people who wish it to be unviable, or thise who refuse to look outside of their own personal needs.
