I honestly don't understand why you get your knickers so much in a twist or get such a rager bout Nintendo. Like no one was really that hard on it. I at most mocked how bored the translator was on their reveal and criticized their their third party line up and possibilities being a portable system and that's bout here and i only said one of those here. Most things I seen been long those lines.
That would be my big question as well. I don't understand the quick to anger responses out of him when anyone dogs Nintendo in any way. I'm thinking some kind of autism. Or a disproportionate response trigger in the medula-oblongata.
Because they're dumping on something he likes and it's a perfectly normal response to counter. Furthermore, the logic used to dump on Nintendo is either A) Cripplingly flawed B) uses obsolete data or C) trying to project their opinion as the universal consensus. I don't know what it is, but for some reason Nintendo being praised just bugs some people and quite frankly those people need to find new problems to be concerned about.
It's cherry picked information, with the full picture or context being left out. It's the same thing people use to praise Apple products.
Nintendo has been the least popular home console since Super NES. Meaning they've lost the home market share the moment Sony and Microsoft stepped in to compete with them. The ONLY market they remained top dog was the Handheld market. The reason for this is because the Handheld market is the only market that their first party games can support them for a prolonged period of time. Nintendo has a history of treating 3rd party developers poorly and souring the relationship by making it harder for 3rd party devs to get their games on the Nintendo system.
I think the Wii U and even the Wii was a huge eye opener for Nintendo and they seem to have realized that they cannot live on a constant flow of Mario games. Because when you look at the Wii or the Wii U, the systems really sustained themselves (barely) on a trickle of Mario titles, from the Galaxy's to the "NEW" series. But there was a great lack of anything else on the system. And the attachment rates on those systems shows it.
The Switch may very well end up being a great console. But it cannot rely on Nintendo properties alone. NO console can survive on 1st party titles. It's the combination of 1st and 3rd party support that truly makes a system stand out. The current market is showing that PLaystation 4 is killing it in every aspect. Sony not only has great 1st party titles, but it gets all the 3rd party releases AND has a fucking VR option. When you way the pros and cons of the three major systems on the market, playstation 4 is the obvious choice, because it has the most diverse line-up of gameplay options.
The Switch has (already) 2 Mario and 1 Zelda right now. These three games are fantastic, but they are short lived for most people. Into 2018 what do people have to look forward to on the Switch? Bayonetta, another 1st party series now? Sure Yoshi will say pokemon, fire emblem, metroid prime, etc. But NONE of those titles are confirmed for 2018 and surely aren't coming in the next couple of months. Which means what is there really for 2018? Is the current Switch line-up supposed to last another 6 months, until new shit comes out towards the end of the summer (MAYBE)?
Look I have a Switch, I got it at launch. I played Zelda. Played Mario+rabids. And most recently I played Mario Odyssey. Then I haven't touched my Switch in two months now, and looking at the next few months of release dates....I have no reason to pick my Switch up against until at least the end of Feburary and that's only IF I want to REPLAY the bayonetta games.
And a note to Yoshi. I'm not vouching for Sony and saying the when they rerelease games like Last of Us, or Shadow of the Collosus, that is okay to do when it isn't okay for Nintendo. But those Sony remasters are coming WITH a huge string of other original titles. If you pretend that PC gaming does exsist, which for console players is usually the case statistically, then Sony released more exclusive titles in 2017, than total non-arcade games in the Switches entire library.
Now you could make the argument that Sony was already established in 2017 and it was barely the Switches launch year. Okay. But even if you compare Launch titles between them the PS4 had 24 titles and the Switch had 13. So no matter how you look at it, you can see how Nintendo is lacking and falling behind the rest of the industry.
To Nintendo's credit, they are in fact making changes and it does look like things will improve in terms of game support for the Switch. But until we start seeing real 3rd party games, launching in the same release window as all other platforms, then I do not think Nintendo's Switch will have lasting power. It's selling because of novelty and because of Zelda and Mario, but there isn't going to be a Zelda and Mario game this year, and possibly not even the next. So we have to see what the next stir the Switch can come up with.

Plus, Sony lets franchises end without milking them forever...
Yeah that's Clearly why we saw the Last of them....oh wait
You clearly do not understand what "milking" a franchise means. I mean you could have at LEAST put Uncharted the Lost Legacy there. By linking a game that is literally getting it's 2nd game FIVE YEARS after the first game, it is simply clear that you don't know what you are talking about and are simply grasping at straws in order to prove a point that doesn't even make sense in the first place.
