@grimakis: Nintendo has no home console. They have 2 mobile consoles, one of which can be connected to the tv. Call it a hybrid if it makes you feel better. Nintendo is. Because they want to charge $400 for a portable, they call it a home console. They call it a home console so, the can sell games for $80. And yet, all their marketing shows it as a portable device, and the reason why It's selling is because it is a portable device. And because no one had a Wii U for Zelda...it's a handheld Wii U. And It's a brilliant device. It's what the Wii U should have been. But, It's not really a home console. You don't even need the dock to play games, to play online. The dock has no computational power, hard drive or Ethernet port. It just is a A.C. adapter that can re-route the display to your tv.

@davillain-: wow. All that wall of text and yet you're completely wrong. Consoles are selling incredibly well right now.

@pork7: GameCube, Xbox, ps2 were in the same genetation. Wii handily beat Xbox 360 and ps3 in sales in It's generation.

@grimakis: most people are using it as a portable. Better versions of games will be on pc or other consoles. The main selling feature is It's portability.

@KaonGheta: this. I wish people would accept the fact that it is a handheld which "can" be played on your tv also. Just because Nintendo is trying to say the opposite doesn't mean it's true and people are fools to believe them.

No one is buying Skyrim again or Fifa to play this on the tv. The only reason to get a shittier version of a game on the Switch is for portability and versatility.

@romeothebeast: It's more of a way to discontinue the 3ds. More profitable with no 3d. Same system, easier to develop for. And they get an easy last-stand .money maker for the console before they completely Switch;)

@computernoises: I'm glad I received a "perfect Switch!" It's too bad the officially licensed premium hori screen protector which cost $25 +tax in Canada melts and bubbles, otherwise everything would be gravy...

@rarerichz: well, it's a deal breaker for me. I can play any game I own digitally on the Xbox one in my man cave, while anyone in my family can also enjoy the entire library from the other xbox in the living room. I doubt people want to buy the same game over and over. It gets bloody expensive.

@Cyberjin: I'm not positive but, I think final fantasy is just as popular in the west, if not more....

@Berserk8989: well. Research how well the game improves other heavy cpu load games. Assassin's Creed Unity for instance, I believe Hitman is another. Or other game that have a lot of ai on screen at once.
