| Wyrdness said: The PS4 is not the Switch TV |
I never claimed the Playstation 4 was the Switch TV. I was drawing a comparison, not stating they are the same thing.
| Wyrdness said: it's the PS4 different market and consumer approach for reference only traditional Nintendo console to hit 100m was the Wii meanwhile Nintendo's portables have hit 100m on three occasions and multiple unit households are a key reason for that |
Again, it's a market Nintendo could access, not just ignore.
Releasing a Switch TV would not diminish Nintendo's portable efforts, it would augment it, another device that plays the same games.
| Wyrdness said: Yes the Switch does what the Lite does that's why the standard model is the best seller of the two by a significant margin but then the Lite is there purely to help that multi-unit household part of the market. |
This is exactly my point.
The Switch Lite ADDS to the playerbase and sales of the Switch.
Just like a Switch TV would.
None of these devices replace each other, they add to each other... By enabling multi-unit household purchases.
Remember it's important to have an "ecosystem" these days to lock people into your environment to accrue sales over the long term.
| Wyrdness said: For a start the share feature Switch uses is more geared at multiple unit households as it's a modern version of what we've seen on the portables stretching back to the GBA with Four Swords, the Lite model plays into this via the points I highlighted earlier, you see this even in the marketing. |
The share feature could hypothetically continue to exist with a Switch TV.
I don't know why you would think it needs to be exclusive to Nintendo's handhelds.
| Wyrdness said: Lite as a result retains more of the selling points than a static model because of the portable aspects as not only does it cater to multi-unit households better it can still provide mobile gaming and more aspects of what the Switch intended to bring again this is shown in marketing, how many adverts have we seen with groups of people gathered around with Switch units playing certain games. |
I don't know about you, but I own a console for every TV in my home. I own more home consoles than portable consoles.
I don't think you seem to grasp that a Switch TV literally ADDS units to a Multi-console home environment, it doesn't take away or reduce unit sales, my Switch OELD has never left it's dock. Literally never.
I am waiting for the device to fail as the batteries only last so long.
I challenge you to list a single thing you lose by Nintendo releasing a CHEAPER fixed home console using Switch/Switch 2 internal hardware. Just 1.
Because I can list a helluva lot of advantages, which I have done prior.
