| SvennoJ said: Yep, the handheld dedicated audience saved the Wii U debacle. Switch is primarily focused on that handheld audience, while giving the much smaller dedicated Nintendo console audience a way to keep playing on TV. |
I won't say primarly, but sure, it was a pretty big part of the focus trough Switch's life
But yes for Nintendo handheld gaming is as important as stationary gaming, more even since the portable crowd is the most loyal part of their consumers. It's quite obvious when there is a Switch Lite, but no "Switch TV"
It was very clear for me Switch chipset was originally designed as a follow up to 3DS, but was changed midway to accommodate detachable controllers and act as a successor to Wii U as well. Have the Wii U being mildly sucessful I believe Nintendo would have released Switch Lite in 2018 as their new handheld
