I think the proliferation of Smart TV's are making streaming services on console a moot point by now.  I can go directly to any app the moment I turn my TV on without starting up an external device like a console.  My TV remote even has it's own buttons for both Hulu and Netflix.  Sure, I can use Hulu and YouTube on Switch, but why would I when I can already access those directly from startup on my TV?  The same goes for my XBox One.  Can it access more streaming services than my Switch?  Yes.  Have I ever used my XBox One to login to one of my streaming services?  To be honest, no.

I agree with pretty much everything you said. However... I don't see why you are telling me all this. My whole point was that Nintendo doesn't care about getting video streaming platforms on the Switch, much less making a new model with 4K output with the sole purpouse of attracting said platforms. Even if that was the case (which it's clearly not), I doubt that the lack of 4K is what keeps Netflix or HBO from launching on Switch, given how there are plenty of devices that don't have 4K and have access to streaming sites.

Ah, I missed the point of what you were saying.  Yeah, lack of 4K would not have kept Netflix away from Switch.  I do agree with you Nintendo would be focused on the upgrade for gaming purposes and keeping gaming developers on the platform.  That has always been their messaging.
