| Doctor_MG said: I'm not being disingenuous stating that you emphasize the mobile components while excusing (or even outright ignoring) home console features because that's literally what you continue to do in this very response. Also, notice that I said marketing is a "factor" and that my argument goes beyond marketing (e.g. home console features, intention of design, etc). You in this very post argue against some of my other points as to why I think the console is a hybrid, yet go on to say that my "only argument" is that Nintendo says it is, so it must be true. Which tells me one of two things. 1) you are becoming emotionally reactive in your responses to this topic and/or 2) you are purposefully trying to use poor debating tactics to undermine my argument (i.e. strawman). Either way, Im not interested in seeing this thread derailed. So I'm ending my response here. You can think what you'd like. I disagree for the reasons I've listed above. |
What home console features?
| Phenomajp13 said: Two player gaming on the go lmao! @Doctor_MG This is hilarious lol. Bro is working overtime to be dishonest. Does any prior Nintendo handheld even support splitscreen multiplayer? Splitscreen multiplayer and motion controls align with home consoles for obvious reasons and Switch has them front and center because it's a portable home console according to Nintendo. That's what they call it and they believe what it offers out of box makes it so and the market responded by purchasing Nintendo's vision. So it really doesn't make sense to see someone claim they know what Switch was designed by Nintendo to be because Nintendo already told us, which makes you automatically wrong. Edit: Reminder you said "it's designed primarily as a mobile device", while Nintendo themselves told us its a portable home console. So no, you don't get to tell us what Nintendo "primarily" designed it to because it "primarily" being a mobile device was never stated. Portable Home Console is what they said! |
I never mentioned split screen.
And whilst prior home fixed consoles had split screen gaming, you couldn't exactly do it at a park bench on a random table.

Again, I have empirically provided evidence that what for-profit companies state is not always truthful.
Companies put profits first.
