https://www.nintendolife.com/news/2021/01/reggie_admits_switch_was_a_make_or_break_product_for_nintendo_after_poor_performance_of_wii_u
In Reggie's words: "You know, Nintendo has done so many innovations in the space... I think what Nintendo did with the Switch, after the poor performance of Wii U, I think to me and what I was part of, that's my lasting memory."It should be noted that it's not that Nintendo would have been in financial trouble if the Switch failed, but more that it would have signaled an extreme shift in focus, and they may have even gone third party. But as we all know, the Switch has been a runaway hit globally, so you won't be seeing Mario and Zelda games on Playstation or Xbox any time soon. --- I often wonder if we are growing as a people... or in fact, regressing. ...

Switch is a great console from concept to execution tbh, except for damn joycon drift, but that seems to only be a problem from earlier models

I really miss Reggie, Bowser seems okay but Reggie just seemed to really resonate with gamers.

so you're saying I could have been playing Smash on my PS4????
but for real, I'm glad that the Switch was a success. I no longer own one, but I like how different it felt from the PS4/Xbox One --- The means of production should belong to the collective unconscious ... Copied to Clipboard!

The bizarre thing to me has always been that the Switch isn't inherently that much better than the Wii U. I guess it's a bit of a different story if you use it frequently as a handheld though. But it was disappointing that the Wii U was such a failure for no good reason.

Even the Switch Lite runs into it which is worse since they are attached to the system permanently. --- I am Mogar, God of Irony and The Devourer of Topics. ... Copied to Clipboard!

Nintendo has stated multiple times over the years that they would never go 3rd party or sell IP's, if they fold they will take everything with them.

Oh, there were a few good reasons.I meant more in comparison to the Switch, because like I said I don't actually think the Switch is all that much better on its own. All your points are certainly true though. --- Ah, yes, the Negotiator: General Kenobi <sneaky beeping> ... Copied to Clipboard!
