Did the Nintendo Unified Strategy Work?

I am on fire today. Take a look at the front page of this website:

Switch can't even match the 3DS never mind the DS in Japan, and Japan is Switch's top market. 3DS plus Wii U outsold the Switch. That is a fail. Leaving a market and conceding defeat is not a sign of strength. The Switch is universally hated by Nintendo home console lovers. It is selling to the old market, the same people who bought their mobile hardware (which I've never bought).

Also, if you want to know how much you should actually be paying for a Switch home console, look at the new version of the nVidia shield. It is selling for $130 at the store near my home. The new model. So considering nVidia's profit margins are much higher than Nintendo's, I'm sure Nintendo can sell a home console version of the Switch for $130 also. But they shouldn't. They should make it 3x faster first and make it $199 instead.

I don't feel happy paying $300 to buy a $130 home console, and having PS3 graphics in 2020. With no controller included (and let's not call the joycon grip a controller, that is marketing, not a controller).

Hopefully globally in Japan becomes a new site meme.
