Do you even know what a gimmick is? It's a special feature for the sake of a special feature, that does not describe Switch because the concept has an actual purpose, just like Wii.

Wait, so PS4 & XBO aren't consoles with the same games yet again? Call of Duty, Battlefield, Madden, FIFA, NBA 2K, Grand Theft Auto, Assassin's Creed, Fallout, Halo, Gears, Uncharted, Far Cry, Rainbow Six, Final Fantasy, Metal Gear Solid, Star Wars Battlefront, The Witcher, Skyrim, Souls, Batman Arkham, Need for Speed, Mortal Kombat, Just Cause, Mafia, Elder Scrolls, Wolfenstein, Ratchet & Clank, Doom, Tomb Raider, Thief, Dead Rising, Forza, etc.

Dont get me wrong, PS4/XBO do have a handful of big, new IP like Destiny, Watch Dogs, The Division, Titanfall, Overwatch, etc. but lets not pretend like Nintendo platforms dont have any quality, new IP like Splatoon, Tomodachi, Yokai Watch, Fantasy Life, Captain Toad, etc.

You did yourself no favours when you just named a huge portion of different franchises whilst at the same time only mentioning a fraction of them.

PS4 and Xbox One will continue to have worthwhile new games also. The Switch will not, maybe at first but that's all.

It will without a doubt crash and burn, some kiddy game like Captain Road will not save it.

The Wii was a special exception because of its gimmick and it being popular with everyone even those who don't care about games. That will not be true for the Switch.

It's going to be another WiiU where it'll be an inferior console with drastically inferior games and the exact same kind of games that Nintendo only ever seems to put out.

Switch isn't a traditional home console. I'd agree with you that you'd be right if it was just a static home console, but it is a mobile chip in a mobile form factor (tablet) with a mobile screen, mobile battery power made by a company that has 85% of its audience in handheld portables. 

It doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out in actuality where this system is going to sell to.

Justin Bieber can call his next album a hardcore electronic album all he wants, that doesn't mean that the main buying audience for it isn't going to be teenage/pre-teen girls. 

Who actually  plays games on the go on a tablet? Personally  i travel 2 hours a day with  public  traffic  and i never seen  anyone  play on a tablet.

I see hundreds if not thousands of kids playing away on tablets all the time, but I'm in airports all over the world for work a lot.

Kids take to gaming on tablets like a fat kid takes to a giant cake, it's uncanny how quickly even very young children can get the hang of a tablet, even to the point of trying to download other games themselves. 

Just a couple of months ago I was next to some kids at the cell phone/tablet/electronics charging area and both brothers (under 12) had their own iPad and they were playing some kind of first person shooter with touch controls and I'm thinking "how the hell are you able to play that?", but they were pretty damn good at it, lol. The graphics on it looked pretty good actually. 

Ow.wow oke...well  we shall see i give Nintendo  all my blessings as  PlayStation  fan for its success  :)

To kind of piggyback off Soundwave I want to add that if you do not have children, wait until you do. I did not notice the tablet trend until my seven year old (my oldest did not hit the tablet trend until around the same time) started coming home and spending all her time in the room playing tablet games and watching youtube on her tablet all day long. That was when I started to notice that children everywhere (children I normally saw but paid no attention to) of all ages, were on this tablet gaming train hard core. I expected my children to want laptops for Christmas but they wanted tablets. It may be that you, like me before my daughter brought it to my attention, are simply paying no mind to that aspect of your surroundings.

Rumors... rumors... rumors....
People should really wait and see what The Switch is all about before jumping on conclusions. So far we have nothing but rumors rumors rumors..

I´d say that The Switch is not a direct competitor to both PS4/XboxOne. It´s more likely to fill the shoes of the 3ds: to work as a secondary console for most gamers.

If installments of such huge franchises like Pokemon, Animal Crossing, Mario, Fire Emblem. Metroid, Yokai Watch, Monster Hunter, Dragon Quest, SMT etc. etc. come to this device, as they came to the 3ds, it won´t be nearly a disaster.

Remember: the Switch is meant to unite all Nintendo productions in a single device. So we won´t have a WiiU+3ds situation with it.

It will without a doubt crash and burn, some kiddy game like Captain Road will not save it.
