Do you really think the Switch is going to get more Western AAA video games if the X2 is used instead of the X1?
No but maybe it can mean develop could be much easier. It's just my personal hope, and it's even not that much relevant since i'll take Switch on D1. X1, X2 or custom doesn't matter to me honestly
@BiasedSonyFan Western AAA games will come knocking if it sells enough units. If it has a user base of 40 million plus (after some years obviously) it makes developing games for the console worth the effort.
@Mellor2000 If it takes a few years for the Switch to muster up 40 million then I think it could be seen by many as a failure, depending on how many years that is. It won't be just about install base that gets developers interested, it's how quickly it reaches that number. Especially if competitor hardware by that time is again seeing a revision or a true successor.

I don't think Nintendo is being picky this generation. If they do better than the Wii U I think they'll consider it a modest success. Even better if it does more than the Gamecube. Strictly talking home console comparisons though. If they're hoping for 3DS levels, it's harder to tell

Well it wouldn't be a resounding, record breaking success but... 40mil is no failure, not by any means. Even 3DS just barely broke 60 recently, and it was market leader for years. Even the Super Nintendo only sold 40mil.

@Operative2-0 Given that it's (presumably) replacing both their home and portable presence, I'd imagine they're hoping it'll do better than most of their other home-only consoles. Seen as a Wii U successor, it doesn't have to much live up to, but as a 3DS successor is has much bigger shoes to fill (and as a successor to both, bigger shoes yet).
So many interesting questions that time will only tell: Will this long-build-up-to-Christmas strategy work? Where will the system sell most, and primarily for what use (i.e. will in sell well in Japan as a portable and the West as a home console)? What sort of games will sell best on it? How big will the 3rd party presence be? Will it ship the standard multi-plats, or will be see more quirky Switch exclusives? And what does E3 still have in store (apart from, presumable, a lot of Mario Odyssey)?
I always said ff14 would be a good fit for the wii u, and now the switch. Just being able to utilize the touch screen for skill management would be amazing, and of course the buttons would work just as well, too. I'm sure Nintendo would allow for cross platform play, which is really all square wants when making ff14 available
I agree with @Therad the switch is a tablet, not an iPad. IPads are made by Apple the switch's body is a generic tablet madee by Nintendo. Not Apple, so it's not an ipad. #Nitpicking
Anyone know what amperage the switch pulls? I'm eyeing a timely purchase of a powerbank but only seem to find a 4310 mah battery with a charge time of 3 hours (would be 1,5 amp or something...) specified. I wonder if getting a 3 amp or charging with a higher voltage (it is usb c after all) would work.
I'm pretty excited for the Switch (I'd probably be beyond insane with hype if I was a few years younger), but I constantly see negativity (not as much as the Wii U days tho). What's the source of all this negativity towards Nintendo? Did I miss some event since I was playing the NES?
