Being a different machine altogether also allow a new kind of consumer to emerge, people who wouldn't buy a handheld and wouldn't by a Nintendo home console (favoring Xbox and/or Playstation) but find a pretty good seal paying for a hybrid If Nintendo keep releasing only handhelds I'm not sure it they would be able to outsell 3DS, many of Switch system sellers seems better designed to be played on TV (Zelda), while others to be played as portables (Animal Crossing) To better understand Switch sucess we must first realizing Switch haven't saved any market, but created a new one instead |
Switch reinvigorated the portable console space by offering home console players a portable console. They absolutely reinvigorated interest in portable consoles. Just look at the Steam Deck. I highly doubt Valve would have made that product if not for the success of the Switch.
