RE: My Thoughts On The Nintendo Switch Reveal Event
I honestly think it's a massive step backwards from the Wii (I'm still trying to pretend the Wii U never happened). What is the value proposition? It was possible to play traditional console games both on the go and on your TV with Sony's handhelds, which trailed compared to Nintendo's. A bigger, more advanced PSP is not going to light the market on fire, even if it excites the core base. What gets traction in online forums and preorders is very often different from what becomes a mass market hit.
As someone who commutes daily, this is way too huge to carry around and take out on the train.
I agree that this was a non starter either way, but their timing literally could not be worse. This is already considerably less powerful than the PS4/X bone.... but fine, i think they could at least argue that going a generation back in exchange for portability was a marketable proposition.
But with the 4k/VR enabled PS4 out now and the oculus rift/4K version of the x bone coming out soon, theyre now asking consumers to go 2 generations back.
