Would you rather have the Switch or a powerful conventional Nintendo Home Console that competes with PS & Xbox?

I'd say Switch already is a fairly conventional Nintendo console.

But I understand that you mean it is a PlayStation-like console, except by Nintendo.

What I want is a Nintendo console, not a Sony imitation brand. And when the whole "Polaris blah blah" thing kept getting pushed in this forum, that was exactly my line. I got what I wanted, and Nintendo clearly picked right; many, many more people wanted a Switch than a PS2 imitation like GameCube.

But the question is moot, anyway. Nintendo would have to be insane to make a PlayStation-style console, because:

1. They'd go from being a market leader to an imitation brand.
2. They'd go from being alone in the largest segment of the dedicated console space to competing in a smaller and shrinking iterative PS2-style home console space.
3. They'd lose their edge and the ability to grow their business, which is innovation and advancing their hardware - generally speaking, industry homogenization is bad for consumers and bad for innovation; and, in a luxury space with a lot of parallel competition (PC, iOS/Android, and other platform types), it means the slow death of said industry.

These are just the big, obvious things.

In my opinion, the only company that has the power to grow in the Playstation 2-style space, is Sony. Sony knows what they're doing through sheer experience. The only way competitors grow is if Sony flubs.
