Am I the only one who can see the potential for this thing over in japan? 3ds and even Vita sell by the shit ton over there. Switch is a absolute beast of a handheld and 900p Zelda docked is pretty damn good too.  All it needs is the next pokemon game to release ONLY  on switch and not 3ds......

Imo, It's a successor to the 3DS and Wii U, definitely has potential in Japan and rest of world, but not sure if it will do really well outside of Japan

Its 1080p

I think it will do really well in Japan. Hope it does well in the rest of the world as well.

Switch will definitely do well in Japan. I still think an eventual Switch Phone could well surpass even DS numbers. It is all on Nintendos shoulders. I just don't see success in the US and Europe unless they get serious about competing with tablets and phones. People in the west just don't want extra devices to carry round as 3DS and Vita numbers well prove.

It will be a hit in Japan if it gets monster hunter and Pokemon stars early

Yeah, I suspect as soon as the Switch gets games like Monster Hunter and Dragon Quest, it's going to explode in Japan, resulting in Japanese developers supporting the device heavily. It'll also likely get the same audience the 3DS did in the US and Europe, which was actually a pretty even split (21.5m Japan, 20m US, 16.7m EU). I have a hard time imagining western developers giving it much support, but I'm hoping that the impressive hardware (for a handheld) will sway a few. Still, if the Switch just turns in to a haven for Japanese developers, that doesn't seem like such a bad thing to me.

Literally been saying this for... like... ever now.

Yeah but I've actually seen threads declaring it will sell worse than Wii U. I think a decent switch Pokemon game could outsell Wii u alone lol

3DS? debatable. Vita? Hell no.

Has that been announced by Nintendo?
