It's safe to say that the majority of Nintendo's portable players ended up upgrading to Switch in large part due to its portability. I'm not if denying the appeal of its library which obviously contributed to its success, but so did its portability and Pokemon which you keep downplaying or ignoring. And I've already proved to you that prices don't dictate a successor with PS3 and PS5. Switch combined the appeal of both handhelds and home console to the best of its ability. It's not a perfect home console nor a perfectly "cheap handheld". But it managed to hit an exciting balance that people liked. The final product was not 100% comparable to either handhelds nor home consoles, but an appealing product that does everything more than adequately. |
I think the best way to cap our discussion is if I just change the original comment: Nintendo went from 21mil GameCubes to >100mil Wiis. There is no reason Microsoft (of all companies) couldn’t pull off a similar comeback following a system which sold nearly 60mil units. IDK why you are so fixated on not comparing Switch to Wii U, but this addresses that issue. |
The Wii was an outlier, but fair enough. I did mention that exclusives could givd Xbox a win (now that they have an insane collection of IP's that include Call of Duty). The Wii had a ton of exclusives.
I'm not fixated on "not comparing Switch to Wii U". I'm fixated on not comparing it to Wii U "alone". Nintendo itself has always been much more popular than Xbox ever was.
