The Exigent Duality

I'm not the only one that questions the market viability of the "Switch"; Nintendo's shares went tumbling after the reveal.

From a personal standpoint though, I'm in, as I've been saying ever since the original rumors started circulating. I spent $300 in 2012's dollar on the Wii U, and have gotten hundreds of hours of use out of it, on top of the hundreds of hours my kids have used it. If the "Switch" is even merely another Wii U, it will be worth the cash for me. Especially if it gets the 3DS franchises-- Fire Emblem, Monster Hunter, Pokemon, Etrian Odyssey, and so on (I will buy entries in all of those if they come out).

Plus, there is always that chance it does catch fire, in which case I'll have a handheld that not only runs indie games, but triple-A ones as well. The Youtube announcement has several million views, and Nintendo did announce a ton of third party developers.

On the other hand, the Wii U was in the same situation at launch; it had Darksiders, Call of Duty, Mass Effect, FIFA, Arkham City, Madden, and so on-- only for that support to disappear when it became apparent that sales weren't going well.
