Why wouldn't Switch be the 3DS successor in its current form? Look at the size of a 3DS XL (the better selling model) and Switch with Joy-Cons detached, it's almost the same size. Switch may be more expensive than 3DS was, but it's also more versatile (both at home and on the go), so cost isn't a serious issue either (and could be corrected if necessary). Battery life is also in the same ballpark. Revisions are going to improve various aspects of Switch, but the 3DS went through the same thing, as did previous Nintendo handhelds. |
Yeah, I said that before and someone disputed it, but as you point out, detached... Attached? It's slim and its vertical is small, howbeit it's elongated!
I always refer to the portion of handheld console gamers who are uninterested in home gaming on tv ( At least those who bought a 3DS after the urgent huge price drop, or after the revisions, since 3DS initially costed only 50$ less than switch ) ! Otherwise, switch is the perfect deal!
Mario kart 8 on handheld mode... Massive visual leap from Mario kart 7, as switch technologically over 3DS, ergo way enticing but is it enticing enough, to ignore that: From 169-199$ and 39$ to 299$ and 49$!
Also, the repurchasability in case of a switch breaks down? You will have spend 600$ for two switches while you spent 340-400$ for two 3DS & XL OG/NEW.
( And I haven't metioned the overly cheap 2DS, albeit 2DS accounts only for 7.5m of the 65.3m 3DS but it's a substantial number in general. )
Ultimately, we don't disagree much! You basically imply that cheaper switch mini/lite should be released ( as many other revisions, in order to cover all the needs ) but you don't see it as imperative as I see it!
Anyway!
Do you prefer me to say that switch even at its current form it's the 3ds successor but not the proper one in my opinion?
