| SammyGiireal said: I agree Switch has succeeded because it has some great content but I don't agree in discounting the fact that Nintendo literally had to go in another direction to its main competitors in order to find success after the Wii U debacle. Sega had a lot issues in the 90s with different failed platforms and they no longer exist today (as a hardware company) so the bussiness and market stuff matters. Had the Switch forgone portability for another Home Console iteration it would have met failure. Nintendo left that market for good and I am glad for it because I can finally get great AAA experiences on the go on a consistent basis. |
Nintendo has always gone in different directions with their platforms their whole success is because of that even the NES was different from all other consoles upon release. Nintendo also didn't leave any market they did what they did back with the NES where they've redefined what the definition of a home console is with an unorthodox form factor only now they can hit two markets at once where as all prior platforms came in pairs.
