Topic: Confidence in Third Party Effort?

@Filth_Element Well, in truth, I haven't been able to dedicate quite as much time to gaming as I ordinarily would have over the past few months (recently moved house) which could explain, in part, why my PS4 isn't getting too much use at the moment...I find that when I've got a bit of down-time, it's just so convenient to pick up my Switch and carry on where I last left off - that kind of makes it my 'go to' gadget at the moment! ..the whole hybrid concept has got me; hook, line and sinker! I was skeptical at first, but I'm a total convert! ..especially because it just seems like it fits around my life a bit better than a 'traditional console' - I kinda wish all of my games were on there!

...which is the problem - all of my games aren't on there, unfortunately - and I don't really want to miss out on the biggies! So the PS4 stays - but there aren't too many PS4 games that are really grabbing me at the moment, so I think I'd rather spend my cash on adding a bit of variety to my Switch

I've only had Zelda - which has given me 125+ hours of enjoyment so far (still adventuring!) - and Mario Kart (for a change of pace) so far...it's been enough, but - I agree - could do with padding out a bit ..with ARMS released & Splatoon 2 on the horizon, I'm hoping that we're in the midst of a 'second wave' at the moment - I'm hoping to get 2 or 3 more games this summer - and by the end of the year, it looks like we might be relatively spoiled for choice!

My gaming time is usually around 60% XB1, 30% Switch, 10% 3DS/Wii U. By the end of this year I could see that becoming more like 50% XB1, 40% Switch, 10% 3DS/Wii U with the fantastic upcoming Switch games. But with things such as (mostly) weekly new Rock Band DLC, upcoming expansions for certain games as well as the possibility of a new Tomb Raider which will almost certainly never come to Switch, I can't see myself using Switch more than XB1.

@NaviAndMii That's true about the hybrid thing. The fact that you're back in the game almost instantly on the Switch is also a big plus IMO. On pretty much all the other platforms, it takes a few minutes just to start playing again. The quickness of getting back into the game coupled with the portability is really an awesome combo. It'll be especially great in games that are good for quick play sessions like Splatoon 2 and Animal Crossing, assuming it eventually comes.

I LOVE the new Tomb Raider games. Literally the only reason I dust off my Xbox every once in a while.

I dropped out of the Xbox /Ps 4 who can trump the other with a more powerful version of the current console game after I finished Fallout 4. I absolutely love the 3ds in concept and execution, and have a huge wishlist / backlog of games for that system that will keep me busy for years.
With the addition of the Switch , I now enjoy added handheld gaming in HD, and console level gaming on the go or at home from , in my opinion, the best game creating company of them all.

I know people have different opinions and I respect everyone's right to have them . Mine is the that I have been and continue to be more satisfied and excited about Nintendo's hardware and games , and vision as compared to Sony /Microsoft or anyone else .
