The point of the thread is to highlight how ALL THREE consoles are equally viable in the mainstream market as a primary based on the individual. Many people who seem to wish it that the Switch would not be viable to "real gamers" have tried to make claims stating as much. These people can be found trying to downplay the Switch across several gaming forums, so I have given them a chance to prove their claims.
The fact that everything can be so easily shot down is all the proof that is needed to show that such claims are unfounded. What they then end up doing is complaining about how speaking about the general mainstream is pointless and getting agitated about the subject because they cannot use their own personal preference to speak for the masses. They know that their argument is invalid to the general gaming public, and to try to continue would do nothing but expose their own bias. |
But they are not equally viable. If you asked gamers what console they would choose as their primary/only console, I would bet my money that majority would choose PS4. Switch could be second, but if PS4 didn't exist, majority would most likely choose Xbox One.
And one of the main reason for this is that for example this year there have been at least 15 AAA games ranging from good to great that are not on Switch. How is it bias if you state this fact?
You could probably find some people whose primary/only console is Ouya (because they prefer its games, etc.) but what's the point? There are millions of people whose primary/only console is Switch, but it's not a valid argument to state that it's equally viable.
