I thought the popular narrative espoused by Nintendo fans was that the Switch wasn't competing against the "competition". Funny how that argument (along with a whole heap of others) gets changed every so often just so as to fit the narrative for why Nintendo aren't a loser company.

How about 11 best reasons to NOT buy a Nintendo Switch?

I can think of a couple...

EXPENSIVE HARDWARE
EXPENSIVE GAMES
OUTDATED HARDWARE
LACK OF THIRD PARTY SUPPORT
NINTENDO DON'T CONSISTENTLY MAKE THE BEST GAMES

Shhhhh... you'll upset the narrative espoused by basement dwelling Nintendards.

HA HA!!!

XBox One X is an iteration of the XBox One console. Switch is an entirely new platform. Talk about clutching at straws here, and making unfair comparisons. But then again, Nintendards are used to looking for reasons that paint their favourite loser company in a favourable light. Desperate much?

Given your comment of "The Wii U GPU suposed offer something around 0.350 Teraflops and the Switch when docked should be around 0.400 Teraflops. So that's only a 15% improvement in raw power": Does that mean that in docked mode, which essentially means that the Switch is acting as a home console, that people are paying $300 for a machine that is essentially a "last gen" (where the Wii U was not that much more powerful than a 360), but at "next gen" prices (ie...

Still a viable enough platform to get third party support - unlike Nintendo.

MS's major failing is the lack of first party titles. That won't be fixed for another 2-3 years...

But yes, MS are "generally" headed in the right direction. But the lack of first party content is hurting them mighty...

@Ol_G and MrBrofist

If software sells hardware, those games obviously didn't help Nintendo much when it came to the Wii U.

You do realise that the Switch is meant to represent gaming on the go, right? Which means that Nintendo want you jacked in all the time. So what you've just stated is extremely retarded.

@Naruga... I totally agree. Nintendo are a shell of their former selves. Sure, they still have Miyamoto (even if his best days are behind him). But given that the best developers want access to the best tech, no wonder Nintendo don't make the best games anymore. None of the rising talent want to work or develop games for their consoles.

And yes, Nintendo made Zelda. But given that their recent history is littered with games such as Starfox Zero, Metroid Federation Force...

@Neonridr

Maybe. But at least I don't eat up any of Nintendo's crap. Like their bullshit lies about the Switch having loads of third party support.

Also, given the basis of your argument, isn't a Nintendo console designed for children? Oh...

If a fool and his money are soon parted, then what does that make a Nintendard?

I'm just glad I made like Neo and dodged Nintendo's bullet...

And no, you might think I'm a fool. But the lack of a dead paperweight like the Switch cluttering up my house, plus my infinitely healthier bank account, suggests that I'm not.

Why announce it half a year later? This thing was dead on arrival.

People still play Nintendo?

As opposed to Nintendo games where you're playing a reskin of the very same tried and tested game that was perfected 30 years ago?

He's an ignorant spoiled brat! Because Splatoon isn't even that original.

Nintendo fans are absolute idiots. No wonder their favourite company has been an absolute joke for nigh on a decade.
