All thing I wrote are based on all thing we know so far in evre way. Offcourse they are some people that thouth that Wii U was good concept,but far more people think that Switch is far better concept, and thats a just one point I made. Most things thea they are based on rumours, coming frome Euoragmer, Emily Rogers and Laura Kate Dale, and so far track record about their infos about NX/Switch was almost 100% accurate (especially Laura Kate Dale), so infos they gave us are almost certain.

Knowing something and thinking you know something are two different things. Sure maybe the things you think you know about the Switch will be correct, but maybe they won`t.

I don`t care much either way, I`m not going to make the mistake of making predictions dooming or glorifying a console that almost nothing is known about, but I`m definitely going to enjoy mocking those that got it wrong. Neutrals FTW

Like I wrote, "most things that are based on rumours, coming from Euoragmer, Emily Rogers and Laura Kate Dale, and so far track record about their infos about NX/Switch was almost 100% accurate (especially Laura Kate Dale), so infos they gave us are almost certain."

But we will know for sure in less than 2 weeks. ;)



Switch will be alright. The portability/dock will be a big selling point. Is all down to the software once again. Which was one of the big reasons for Wii U's downfall.

I don't think it will be a problem if they big the big boys like Pokemon, Monster Hunter and Mario Kart.

They do need to get ahead with their online services though.



 


Literally one person I know who is a gamer knows about the Switch. Everyone else who plays games is too busy focused on Battlefield 1, Fifa, etc. This to me is not a good sign for a console coming out in less than 3 months time.

Same position. Only few people I know who own all the latest Nintendo stuff are the one's interested in the Switch. Everybody else is either looking forward to Pro, Scorpio or the latest GPU (AKA all about them graphix! XD)

This is why Nintendo will  have to bring the big guns with some damn good titles and hopefully New IPs to win back some audiences.

I should have mentioned that this guy is a HUGE nintendo fan. He even pre-ordered the Wii U before it was released so it is no surprise he knows about the Switch. I'm open to purchasing the Switch more than I am on purchasing an Xbox One S(I have a PS4) but for me to do so would require Nintendo to bring their A game. If it suffers in droughts of quality software like the Wii U(shovelware and poor third party ports don't count as quality) then I won't buy one.



In a way the wii u shows the Nintendo brand has some selling power.

They release a console in 2012 with less power than the previous generation of consoles from their competitors that date back to 2005, has a over-sized controller with short battery life and missing analogue triggers which is unwieldy to a lot of smaller children who Nintendo normally use their consoles. Manufactured with a low resolution resistance screen often seen in digital picture frames, cheap low bandwidth memory chips, cheap fabrication technology, no hard drive and lots of missing licensed features like dolby sound, dvd playback etc to limit its functionality. An extremely cheap to manufacture console based on very low performance components.

Then add in a host of multi-format titles that often perform far worse than their 360 and ps3 versions.

Then you find one of your main competitor's buy's the factory that makes the specialised eDRAM memory chip and cancels all future orders from Nintendo meaning Nintendo cannot economically make more consoles and has to manage their small stockpile of chips to last the generation preventing further discounting of the console and improving their marketshare.

Even with all that they still sell about half that of xbox one. I just feel the wii u was a absolutely terrible mis-judged product and the Switch is much more appealing all round. The Nintendo brand does have selling power.
