Wii U really wasn't a good console at all, Nintendo put most of the hardware resources into the gimmicky gamepad controller, leaving the base console specs too watered down to properly handle 3rd party games. It was a poorly designed console built entirely around a gimmick, and it failed for that reason.
Another nintendoenthusiast.com article making excuses and running damage control for the Switch. Unfortunately, due to the much weaker hardware specs and lack of commonly expected features, the Switch just isn't going to get any remotely demanding 3rd party games. It's getting some indies that don't require higher end specs, but it will be unable to manage the more graphically demanding 3rd party games. So no, there just won't be a lot of 3rd party support for the Switch in th...
Too bad ARMS is a garbage game crippled by gimmicky motion controls.
The Switch isn't "sold out" anymore, the artificial shortages and fantasy hype are over. And the games library continues to be weak, with a few first party games and some 3rd party indies already available on many other platforms. Also the games you list are mainly geared towards diehard Nintendo fans, a market that continues to shrink every year. Not much to get excited about there at all.
Unless you don't care for Nintendo's cartoony, simple games, in which case the Switch is not worth it at all.
And that is the reason the Switch will fail.
-- Too many Nintendo fans will only buy Nintendo's own first party games, and skip 3rd party games
-- 3rd party support will dry up
-- Without solid 3rd party support, the Switch cannot succeed, just like the Wii U before it.
Most diehard Nintendo fans refuse to support 3rd party games on Nintendo platforms, then they complain about the lack of games on Nintendo systems. SMH.
You are paid by Nintendo to write positive propaganda for them to promote their poor products, you're the last person to try to point fingers. I am just telling the truth about Nintendo, they've been screwing over consumers for many years, with poorly-designed gaming hardware, overpriced accessories, bad gimmicks, and anti-consumer policies. You need to wake up and see the truth about the damage Nintendo has done in the gaming industry and community.
An "amazing year"? Yet they have only a small library of games, with a few first party games and some indies, and not much else. As of now, there is nothing interesting to play on the Switch unless you're a diehard Nintendo fan, or want to play some indies on the go (games that are available for other platforms, usually with better performance). Sales of the Switch handheld have slowed drastically, it's now widely available at many retailers, so the artificial shortages crea...
Only Forbes (probably the clueless Paul Tassi, not giving this website the clicks) would publish an idiotic article like this. Don't give them the clicks, just avoid Forbes at all costs.
Another lame Trollingbolt article, don't give this terrible, biased website any clicks. They're a cancer in gaming journalism.
You completely missed the point, which is that the Switch specs are way below those of the PS4 and XBox One, and even further below the Pro and X, which means that 3rd party games from those platforms are just not going to run well on the much weaker Switch. Don't expect to see many multiplat games ported to the Switch, other than some indies, due to its lack of power. This thing is going to be a Wii U 2.0 in terms of its lifespan, not hard to see that.
Doubtful. Sales are already slowing way down with very few games coming out in the near future. Mario will give it a bump, but just like the Wii U, no amount of first party Nintendo games will, by itself, sustain the Switch. Unless 3rd party developers really get on board (not just a few indies), the Switch will have a very hard time maintaining momentum. Wii U proved this conclusively, Switch is going to deal with the same issues.
I've owned (and still own) many Seagate hard drives, both internal and external, and haven't had any failures. My PS4 currently has an internal 2tb Seagate that was taken from the 2tb Seagate Slim external hard drive, and it's been working just fine. You can find many stories about failed hard drives from both companies, so I think it's not accurate to say that one is better than another.
Unfortunately Switch isn't going to get a lot of 3rd party support, other than indies. The hardware itself is just not able to match the power of the PS4 and XBox One, so 3rd party ports of multiplat games just aren't going to work. So unless the Switch gets a lot of unique games designed just for it alone, it's likely to follow the same path as the Wii U.
Huge waste of money.
Nope, it's widely available at retail in North America at all the big stores, not "flying off the shelves" anymore. And many people are starting to try to sell their Switch handhelds after realizing that there aren't many games coming out in the future.
Unfortunately sales are starting to slow down, now that a large portion of the core Nintendo fans have bought one. Unless more 3rd party developers start developing for the Switch soon, sales of the hardware are going to continue to slow down. And because the Switch is far below the power of the PS4 and XBox One (never mind the Pro and X), ports of 3rd party games are not going to work out well. Doesn't look good for this handheld in the future.
Killing Floor 2 is a fantastic game, great to see it ported to the XBox One. I already have it on the PS4, will get the XBox One version when it goes on sale. Also Gamestop released this game physically on both platforms, well worth getting if you like physical games.

Another lame article from Trollingbolt, don't give them the clicks, it's a worthless website.
This is exactly the point. Nintendo's own first party games don't appeal to me either, and without solid 3rd party support, it won't be a viable option for many others like us. I do like handhelds, but I don't like the overall design of the Switch, and don't feel like it's a solid handheld system.
