I acutally looked up the price of PS3s when the Wii U came out. They were $299. If Switch is going to have better third party support than Wii U because of sales, why didn't Wii have better third party supprt? The wii sold better than the Switch ever will. Third parties abandoned the Wii U because of catastrophic sales of third party games on the Wii U. Nintendo has had no trouble churning out million + selling Wii U games on that small sales bases, but Third party games sold terribly in comparison. Why was that? Why will this time be different? |
You are wrong, look prices of PS3/Xbox360 in 2012/2013. http://vgsales.wikia.com/wiki/Price_cuts
Hybrid console that can be used like real home console and like real handheld, make huge difference compared to home console with tablet like controller. But what will be very important are things on which Wii U failed, like I wrote: bad reveal, terible and misunderstood marketing, higher price than compettion, not appealing gimmick, bad launch and 1st year lineup, weak support...for now we had great reveal and we know that Switch will have very strong lanch and 1st year lineup (most likly Zelda and new 3D Mario on launch).
Yes thats fact, but fact is also that Bethesda confirmed partnership and support for Switch, and we alredy saw Skyrim runing on Switch, also there is zero chance that Nintendo would show 3rd party game running on system if they are not 100% sure that game is coming on system. It's very obvious that Nintendo holding all announcements of games for later date.
Actualy Wii had much better 3rd party suport than Wii U, look at wiki to see how much Fifas, NFSs, NHLs, NBAs...Wii had compared to Wii U. 3rd party always selling bad on Nintendo platforms, but they start abandoning Wii U after terrible sales and after they realised that Wii U will be faile without future and small instal base. Also fact that is Switch is hybrid means that will have almost full support of Japanese 3rd party for instance (also they are rumours from Emily and some others that Switch getting very strong suport from Japanese 3rd party), for instance Monster Hunter, Yokai Watch, SQ games (DQ games already confirmed)...
