Forums - Nintendo Discussion - 70% of Switch Owners in the USA own a PS4 or Xbox One

Someone that owns a Switch along with another console could also decide to buy Super Mario Party first, in then RDR2/BO4

If I got a secondary console it would be PS4, there's like 8 games I really want to play on it. But there is no need as there are way too many games on Switch than I have time to play!



Well its more like Nintendo people had to go buy other systems because those games stop coming to Nintendo since Wii days.

Wonder what the story would tell if Nintendo systems continued to get support.

On another note a lot of people haven't bought a mario party game since the N64 days and somehow the franchise still sells well so I don't think it will flop.

Nintendo consoles always were secondary consoles.

As far as i am concerned there is no secondary console, PS4 provides me one kind of experience, Switch another. They stand equally

"Alot of gamers buy Nintendo consoles as secoundary devices.
They play their multiplats on PS4/XB1, and the indie types + Nintendo games on the Nintendo consoles."

I think this plays into that saying.

I buy Nintendo console right now for the exclusives but i certainly don't consider any of the my console to be primary or secondary. Whatever console i'm currently playing a game on is the primary console during that time period.

Agreed. I'd say there's very few switch only owners 



That makes a lot of sense. First of all is Switch relatively new and the other two systems long on the market and Switch first and foremost targeted gamers. So it is likely you hit someone who owns a competing console. Secondly it makes sense with the game sales. In difference to earlier titles Nintendo built the Switch as a system you want to buy multiplatform titles for - because you can play them on the go.

I played my Switch far more than my PS4 last year, so last year my Switch was my primary console. This year I am playing my PS4 more, so my PS4 is my primary console.

Primary/secondary console is a subjective term that varies from person to person, games releasing at the time, and in the Switch's case, how much you can utilize portability at the time with multiplats.

What I am trying to say is, those who think Switch cannot be or is rarely a primary console are either looking at their own personal preferences and nothing else or straight up lying to themselves.

I was glued to the Switch with SMO for almost a monh. Couldn't get into ZBOTW, Doom and WWE ran like crap. Played DKCTF for about a week. Only game I've played in the last two months is Mario Kart about 3 different times for about 20 minutes.

That said I am lookng forward to NSO and Pokemon Let's Go Pikachu. Switch is definitely my 3rd console due to its lack of necessity funcions. With PS4 and XOX, I can hop on and get some business done, jump into a game, go to TV hen dinner is ready, and then return to a game after dinner. With Switch I have to be 100% dedicated to playing and that just makes it had to even turn the thing on.



Stop hate, let others live the life they were given. Everyone has their problems, and no one should have to feel ashamed for the way they were born. Be proud of who you are, encourage others to be proud of themselves. Learn, research, absorb everything around you. Nothing is meaningless, a purpose is placed on everything no matter how you perceive it. Discover how to love, and share that love with everything that you encounter. Help make existence a beautiful thing.
