Even more ironic is that the Switch has all the same problems as the Wii from a "core gamer" perspective.
* It's still woefully underpowered compared to PlayStation and Xbox.
* It still doesn't have great online.
* It still has a bunch of gimmicks
* It still focuses more on family fun time with multiplayer and motion controls vs. a "hardcore" gamer experience
* It still regularly misses most of the biggest AAA third party games. And if they do come, they're often late watered down "impossible ports" or cloud versions.
Yet in spite of all that, I think the Switch is seen as less of a joke to "core gamers" compared to the Wii purely because it's also a handheld. That makes it less easy to compare to and scoff at since Nintendo was always better at being a portable platform holder vs. a console one. As such, the third party support and graphics are a lot more impressive for the Switch as a mobile system. Because as strictly a home console, it's kinda lame compared to the PS5 or Xbox Series. (And I say this as someone who loves the Switch.)
