I'm really surprised by the results. Would people rate this site as hardcore Nintendo? Could the results be because people would follow Nintendo through any changes?

At any rate like Eric and other siad Nintendo aren't separating from Hybrid as they've structured the company towards it. The best that could be hoped for is a Switch TV.

I mean, the simple fact that we're here spending our free time debating video games on a dedicated forum suggests we're not reflective of the average consumer. Most folks who play games don't feel the need to sign up to a forum, it's typically enthusiasts who get this invested.

The Wii U basically shows how many folks would follow Nintendo through thick and thin. That's the hardcore Nintendo audience who will buy any console to play their games.

I don't consider myself Nintendo fan (or fan of any platform holder), but I am Zelda and Mario Kart fan, so I'm one of those 13.5M+ that got into WiiU (I ended up getting much more titles, but hey).

After all the talk of hybrid, Nintendo proved with Switch Lite, only two and half year into the cycle, they are more than willing to make core Switch hardware in different, non-hybrid iteration than original - at this point, that's all I'm asking of Nintendo when it comes to home consoles, Switch TV device, derived from same core hardware as "main" version, with potentially better cooling. One software platform, one hardware platform, in 3 variants, with hybrid being lead platform for development.
