With xbone dead in the water and 4k adoption rates projected to only be around 26M by 2019, is the Switch really competing with anything? PS4Pro and Scorpio don't seem to offer anything that the PS4 everyone already has can't do.

No. Its not. Its in its own Niche nintendo market and stupid ass consolewar faggots are going to incessantly parrot that its in competition with their console or PC because "Nintendo sony and microsoft all want my money so they're all in competition."

Don't expect Sup Forums to know shit about demographics.

This.

As far as I'm concerned, it's going to be a Zelda, Splatoon and Mario box and that's it for me.

Same thing with my WiiU; bought that used for Xenoblade, and some other titles, and I'll buy this used too for Xenoblade 2 and some other titles.

I'm going to play indie garbage on the toilet where it belongs on top of that.

I forgot to add that the price point only gets better when the competition is 400 and 500 dollars and won't have the library of games at launch that the switch will by the holiday.

Both consoles are comparable price and have a much larger library along with better support since they have been out longer. Not to mention 3rd party support and entertainment apps. Nintendos got a big hill ahead since they do this mid generation shit.

Clarification: i was talking about the xbone and ps4

>is the Switch really competing with anything?

Relevance

Switch is competing with Wii U, which is cheaper and will have a stronger library for at least 2 years and is about as powerful. The only Switch exclusive that isn't a Wii U rehash or port or just plain crap is Mario Odyssey in December. I think Wii U is a better buy for the next year at least.

Nintendo is an embarrassment

>is the Switch really competing with anything?

The ps4 with regular consumers.

It's the same position the wii u was in. It's a weaker mario box, except now it costs more than its competition rather than less.

I'd say that besides the usual Nintendo manchildren who'll buy anything Nintendo smartphones are the competition.

Is Nintendo the Apple of gaming?
>Overpriced
>Weak hardware
>Loyal fan base
>Mostly great design

>Xbox is dead

Nope.
Apple products got a good build quality, Nintendo products does not

Fuck off edgelord

>apple
>good
choose one

>Nintendo products does not
Nigga what? Their products are strong as fuck on the physical side. My 3DS XL is like a fucking brick.

At least an Apple device makes you look cool. Carrying Nintendo in public makes you look sad, don't pull it out waiting at the reception for a job interview.

>xbone dead
define it sonypony

surprised of the lack of humanized PC porn or PCfag jokes

Mine has a wobbly screen and a stick that thinks about falling off.

I appreciate your thread, user.
>inb4 console war bullshit ruins it

I tried.

It just doesn't seem to me like there's any competition other than ps4 games, which are finally approaching 5 I want to play. The view ahead looks like 2 failed can't actually do 4k shitboxes, a portable toaster and a stagnant ps4 until the ps5 comes out.

The competition is still the PS4. The Pro and Scorpio are side grades that you can't use to measure. They're both hardware releases that are competing within their own family line.

The Switch's success depends entirely if they can find another blue ocean audience. I don't think they will. They are going for the tablet route again, but this time actually doing it right by not requiring a parasite for it to operate. However, they're still falling back. They won't get the mass gamer market because the Switch won't be getting any of the multiplatform titles. Sup Forums may bitch and moan that exclusives are all that matters, but at the end fo the day, the masses want their Maddens, their FIFAs, and their Call of Duties. The Switch won't offer any of those. If it did have the capability to offer the above titles, it would already have an edge over the competition due to the natural design of the machine, but as it is right now, it doesn't offer anything.

We've already seen what happens when the only thing that holds up a Nintendo home console is Nintendo games.
