Don't tell me you're now aware of that. It's even on Nintendo ads, they never show kids in Switch ads, only 20+ y.o. people, even 30+.
They're targeting young adults and people who don't have enough time to play games only on TV.
Facts on Switch and Nintendo:
Nintendo was very smart selling a hanheld console with TV conectivity as a home console.
Power envelope and graphics are of a mobile device, even the new iphone or Galaxy have faster processors.
Some 3rd party games run on it, but they are specially made and really downgraded graphically compared to the other consoles.
They sell it at 300 with 60 USS games because they are GREEDY and Nintendo fans pay anyway, like iphone fans buy 1500 USS iphone XS.
They have high quality exclusives games with great creativity.
PS4 sold more when switch launched, and the year after. Its an indirect competitor. Didn´t hurt PS4 sales, its on another segment, like Intrinsic said with cars.
If you add the people who bought 3DS and Wii U, then you see who is buying Switch. Mobile fans. Also you can see that with Japan exploding. Take all Japan sales to see how many Switchs are selling elsewere. That doesn´t mean that some others are, but are not the core buyers.
For the nature of Nintendo games and mobility, Switch is best suitted as a christmas gift for kids and thats why sales explode in the holidays.
Nintendo doesn´t hurt Sony, It helps Sony.
Nintendo is usually the starting point for a gamer.
I go to Mc Donalds and I can´t find toys with The Last of Us, But I frequently find Nintendo toys.
Kids love them, then they want the console. And their parents played nintendo as kids, so many buy it.
Of course some kids also play PS4 or XBOX games, but Nintendo is more kid oriented, and their games for kids are usually better with all Nintendo caracters.
When this kids are adults, some will still play nintendo, but many will look for more mature games, and buy the others consoles and games.
If Nintendo weren´t there, the seed woudn´t be planted and kids would be doing something else unless some other company take nintendo place.
But for now, Nintendo helps to keep the industry and future Sony and Microsoft sales.
Edit: I forgot. for those that say that the switch is everything because you have a home and mobile device,
The Switch is like a duck, it can run, fly and swim. But it flies like a duck. And PS4 and XBOX are eagles. Don´t compare ducs and eagles ,the flying experience is different ;)
that doesn´t make the ps4 swim..... choises.

Nintendo has done well to come back after what we got with the Wii U and after the sluggish start with the 3DS, so they were correct. Person that said it was dead as far as home consoles go is just completely wrong as Nintendo has Switch. Switch is a hybrid, the best of what both a home console and handheld can provide a user. It is both a home console and it is also a handheld, that's factual. People tend to pick one or the other to steer an argument in their specific direction for the sake of trying to be right. When the answer is straight forward. There's no hidden mystery. Honestly I feel the hatred for the Hybrid idea stems from people actually being mad that Nintendo was the one to perfect it first,as far as the big 3 go, and not Microsoft/Sony. That's the vibe I get. Am I wrong about that? maybe, but it's the opinion i gotta stick with for the time being after seeing responses lately. |
That is possibly the best answer you could come up with to justify this nonsense.
No matter if it's a home console or not... It's been sold at a high price point (50$ more than Wii, same as base WiiU) and is successful at it. No matter how someone twists the truth or misrepresent Switch's market target.

I have to ask though where is the "hatred" in this thread? Because I really seen it. Not towards Nintendo heck not even towards Hybrids. I actually saw people saying ti was a very smart move on the part of Nintendo. I mean granted all that has nothing to do with the thread at hand but I definitely don't see any hatred.
The absence of evidence is NOT the evidence of absence...

You see it and label it as nonsense, that's fine. I however stand by that opinion as that's how I see the current attitude against the Switch.

Not your nonsense. The nonsense of other people trying to distort reality and nourish uncalled hate for the hybrid system.

Hes agreeing with you, hes saying the argument is nonsense, not what you wote.

The whole argument falls apart in this paragraph.
Japan is Switch's worst market, the market dominated by handhelds. Switch is well ahead of 3DS in America & Europe but far behind in Japan.
3DS sales 2011+2012, 27.4 million
Japan-9.8 million
Outside Japan-17.6 million
Switch sales 2017+2018, ~30 million
Japan-~6.8 million
Outside Japan-~23.2 million

No, if you compare the other systems, Switch is selling much more in Japan in % numbers than the other consoles and its because Japan prefer mobile. Also you are showing that 3DS sales are not very far from Switch, That shows that people that bought 3DS are now buying switch.
