If consoles don't have a gimmick, whats the point of them?

and the fact that for the most part they don't have to be replaced like a PC does until the new consule comes out like...8-10 years (Using my xbox as an example)

not only that, but consoles tend to be cheaper than gaming PC's

But PC's can do more than consoles, so there's that.

Bull, still no reason to replace your computer. Plus I doubt you're that fly.

Plus the proper answer is that you let CnT near it and it got the virus.

Wonder how easy its going to be to pirate nintendo games now. I mean people already jail break phones stupid easy.. so I assume this too could be jail broken.

Edit: also seriously nintendo? 6.2inch screen with 720p? the pixel density must suck. xD

Probably buying AMD and overclocking their CPU,GPU and RAM into an early grave.

Eh, I'd rather just run vms for most things myself, but physical space is a constant issue.

Not to mention getting those old things working, how dusty they usually are, and a pain the cases can be. Don't get me wrong I love ancient technology too, but I got over having physical boxes when I got direct3d virtualization working well.

im sure the actual output will be 1080p/4K to the TV when you have it docked. i dont mind a 720p screen on the tablet part as long as it means i dont have to pay $600 for the ***as a result of using a cheaper display

I might be going against the crowd when I say, I still might prefer an actual handheld device like PSVita or 3DS if I'm playing a game for said handheld device. If I play Pokemon Whatevercolor and I had to choose between 3DS and Switch, I'll most likely go with 3DS. Reason being, I don't want the entire plane looking on my tray-sized screen shouting advice. Nor do I want eyes to be locked on my Switch when I leave it behind to go to the bathroom.

Don't get me wrong, I'll still consider buying a Switch if I want to play AA or AAA games with unlimited portability.

Gamefreak has already stated they have pokemon games in development for the Switch.

Nintendo has now also confirmed Amiibo Support.

This console tease does nothing for me right now. It's just a hardware evolution of the Wii U without any software to showcase why I need it, despite the launch date being only 5 months away.

I think the main problem is indeed the software. For a company that repeatedly forces its "it's all about the games" mantra everywhere, what did we see?

Skyrim? A bunch of Wii U games? Maybe a tiny hint of a new 3D Mario? That's it.

2013 called, they want their games back.

Wii U had this exact same problem. It didn't launch with any games anyone actually wanted, and only had a bunch of ports of old 3rd party games, some of which were years old: ME3 and Arkham City come to mind.

Nintendo needed to bring it home why you should want this thing. As of yet, it seems like BotW is the only reason anyone would want one, assuming they don't already have a Wii U.

Only Wii U game was Breath of Wind. Maybe the NBA one but not sure on that.

The trailer showed off the new edition of Skyrim which ok not important but a new 3D Mario, New Mario Kart, and New Splatoon.

That's actually a better starting lineup then the Wii U had.

Anything has to be better than the Wii U launch. A lot of people weren't even clear if it was an upgrade to the Wii or a system all of its own, let alone what you could do on/with it.

What makes you think those were new Kart and Splatoon games? Nintendo is rumored to be doing Wii U remasters and those looked like existing stages to me

The 3D Mario is the only one where we saw stages that weren't in SM3DW
