Switch being a jumbled, incomprehensible, chaotic mess, confirmed.

Typically non-developer attempt to describe developing needs. "Easiest to develop for" is not so easy to grasp. Problems with development arise from many different facets, each can be different for each platform. More of it, I would expect for a new platform like the Switch these hurdles are not all identified and fixed like for an established system. I would expect that the new system initially has some more problems than the older stuff.

But we all love Patcher here! Or rather, we love to make threads making fun of Patcher's either crazy or completely obvious predictions. Nothing in between.

lol pretty much.

Yea if certain games such has jrpgs dont use most of the power the x1/ps4 has to offer then porting to switch should be easy. I fully expect switch to get plenty of japanese third party support but western, apart from old/indies is a different situation entirely.

If the switch can sell tons of units, it might get the typical cod/arsecreed/etc but the big ones like GTA, I doubt it will get. 

Overall, much better situation than wiiU in all accounts 

ah yeah, I should've seen that.

So basically it's impossible to develop for like the Sega Saturn.....

His source is probably everyone's favourite uncle that works at Nintendo

Don't read anything into this either way. It's the best position for Pachter to put himself in for the next podcast/blog/article/whatever it is he actually does.

If the Switch is a success, he can say he called it.

If things go sour, he can state he was too optimistic in his assumptions about Nintendo, and talk about how he would have done a better job.

RIP SWITCH
