I think it can. It could be that item parents give to their kids that they can take with them where ever, and entertain them whenever.

I doubt Nintendo would've made more games for Wii U than it did if it sold better. Maybe even fewer.

I expect the same from the Switch.

There are lots of charades/party games on iOS that have you getting up in front of friends and flailing your arms about, there's nothing specific to 1,2 Switch that is so unique that it's going to drive a person who doesn't own a video game console today to decide to go pay $350. There's also Just Dance on iOS/Android now. 

If it was that easy Wii Party U on the Wii U also would've lit up sales, and Wii Party U honestly is actually a pretty fun party game. Lots of fun. 

But there are fun alternatives on the iPad/iPhone/Android that are $350 cheaper.

For Nintendo's version of this "party fun night" to work out the difference in cost, that Joycon needs to be giving out sexual favors.  

Nintendo CAN find a new audience, but Nintendo fans need to realize it doesn't need to revolve around grovelling for casuals like a sad guy who's still hoping a girl who dumped him seven years ago will take him back. 

The strategy that seems to be working well right now is putting a Nintendo spin/take on popular genres. Splatoon did this (online shooter). Mario Maker did this (game maker/content creator). ARMS seems to be doing it (1-on-1 fighting game). That's the way to go. You can't rely on fickle casuals for anything, they will drop you just as quickly as they embrace you, you can't run a stable business like that. 

For now, it's going to appeal to people who want Zelda and nothing else...it's the only worth it game at launch.

If Nintendo realizes early that a console is failing and starts to defer resources to a new console it's even better. The software isn't lost, it just moves to a better console. And the earlier Nintendo releases a new console the better since their consoles are outdated when they release anyway.

That was a bad expression anyway. I don't enjoy consoles, I enjoy games. I don't care much about the platform it's on. So I don't care if this console or any other console fails. For me it's a win because the software will move to better platforms.

So you could say I'm always hoping for console to fail as soon as possible. For me the worth of a platform is reached very quickly as soon as it has a handful of exclusives that I can enjoy.

Why would I miss 3rd party games? 3rd parties will always develop for some platform. Their money and work does not vanish into nothingness. I will always get the platforms that have the games I want to play.

A new console every year won't be happening until they streamline their platforms like smartphones or PCs. But even then I could still decide if I want to skip a year or not. With consoles I cannot decide for myself. I will always have to rush out to get a new one as soon as it's available so that the suffering can end.

My experience with a game is dependant on the performance and the peripheral. There is not really a difference between the consoles. The games all run like shit and the controllers suck because they have to change them each time you got used to one. All I can hope is that they scrap the current console as soon as possible and have another try.

Consoles have to change themselves fast because the console as a platform hates choice. The only choice we get is to buy the new console when it comes out. It's a terrible business model for consumers. Faster console cycles mean more choice. The faster they are, the more choice you have.

Yes, but not really non or casual gamers, the Switch's biggest audience will be consolidating Japan and other market's handheld elite to one console. They may not initially get them all but before long most except the most die hard Sony stans will be converted.

This however is only if Nintendo is smart enough to know that is where the money is for them. If the brass is still trying to chase the casual market brass ring and fail to focus on the market in front of them they will fail. Time will tell because many of their recent decisions have had a business mindset to them that fail to take into account the audience they are trying to capture or maintain.

is 1, 2 Switch really not a pack in title? Thats stupid if true

I updated the OP with mobile gamers based on DeNA as partner and the viability of Switch for these games.
