@Kezzy123: What are you talking about? Microsoft games division already stated that xbox is their largest investmemt since there's a lack of Microsoft in the living room. They are trying to intergrate PC/Xbox cross platform, not do away with xbox.

@Sepewrath: I guess he meant to say"competitive price". Not "overpriced". For this price, gamers could get a far more powerful console with a better title lineup minus the portability.

@mrhappy702: Interesting you say that! I agree! Infact i'll go out on a limb and say that once the Switch launches in March, by end 2017 Wii U and 3Ds will cease production. The mobile/console hybrid idea is an attempt at putting all eggs in a single basket and combining both user bases.

@Dilandau88: Without a doubt, Nintendo's always been good at making 10/10 classics for their own console. The question is whether or not it's prepared for another generation of lackluster third party support. The mass majority of Wii U owners were core Nintendo fans, not Microsoft, Sony or PC users. This console I predict will not bring them any of that audience beyond their core installbase.

@Iconoclysm: I can agree with that, A lot of gamers are immature egocentric idiots. However, while most of the fears and criticisms in this comment section is albeit poorly worded, they do hold some validity.

Switch has laid some groundwork for yet another poor performing console. There are alot if promising features that will make for a strong install base among core Nintendo fans. However it's already lackluster specs to a fast approaching pc/ps4 pro/xscorpio gaming market makes laggy start. 32gb storage space and a less attractive price point makes for another tough console cycle if it can't convert micro/sony/pc gamers.

@Iconoclysm: Assuming that 99% of commenters have superiority complexes is not a healthy way to dismiss criticism.

@ballashotcaller: Right, except people have the right to be critical. That's what a comment section is for.

@soarlozer: Some gamers just like seeing their favorite actors portray their favorite video game characters in 2 hour action sequences. Some marketing experts like delivering content that grows a franchise by drawing in those who've always felt somewhat interested in trying said game but shy away due to lack of interest or intimidation on how large the series has grown not wanting to invest time in catching up to story elements.

I know a few friends who never felt curious once at trying a Hitman game, that is until they saw the movie. While the movie was mediocre at best, it got them wanting to at least try the games out.

So there's no "sorry", investors love money far too much. These movie adaptations wouldn't keep happening if it wasn't working.

@Dragon_Nexus: Ever browsed a gamespot comment section dude? The frequency of the stupidity that shows up there makes it so much less obvious.

@Tiwill44: kind of like any cultural phenomenon. When a game has a diverse cast and a rich backstory, fanbases start to develop and consume the art.
