I've removed the 'slim' reference because these consoles are now the defacto consoles. I've also removed the '500gb' reference because I don't really see the point in it now. If there ends up being two SKUs in the charts that are only different because of their HDD size then I'll just add '1tb'. I also think the word 'bundle' has become redundant so if you read the name of a game after the console you'll know it's a bundle.

Quote from: DerNebel on Feb 14, 2017, 01:28 PMLike I said this is not a matter of opinion. Calling something your opinion is not a ticket that allows you to lable things in any way you want.

There are clear attributes that define what home consoles and handhelds do and the Switch does both, so if you want to put the Switch into a hybrid category that does both, then fine, but if you want to deny it its home console status based on nothing but your opinion then I'm going to call you out on your battleship.

Maybe you're just not understanding the difference between how you would use something and how it would be defined, many people used the PS2 and PS3 as DVD/Bluray players, that still doesn't mean those systems can be exclusively defined as DVD/Bluray players even as an opinion, the same holds true here, just because you or others use the Switch as a handheld does not mean it loses its home console attributes.. But I somehow feel that you know that very well and are only defining the Switch exclusively as a handheld to preventively cover your dog in case the Switch outsells the PS4, even if only in Japan, and that makes me embarrassed not salty.

It just makes you a paranoid moaner.

Fact is I think it's a handheld and will treat it as such. I can connect my phone to my TV for a big screen mode or my laptop. That doesn't make them home consoles. Switch vs PS4 is no different then 3DS vs PS4.

No matter what you try to say ps4 will remain the #1 dedicated home console in Japan. It's pretty simple.

Xbox reddit must be quite lately if you're looking to pick this bone haha

DerNebel · Feb 16, 2017, 01:17 PM

Jesus, this is not worth my time.

But hey, you couldn't show your intention more obviously btw. "The PS4 will remain the #1 dedicated home console in Japan". I'm sure this has absolutely nothing to do with you conveniently defining the Switch as a handheld.

Zelda is going to be such a sales beast, but I'm surprised Switch still is ahead of Wii U this close to launch.

Wii U owners have moved on from the system already. The Switch version of Zelda is going to significantly outsell the Wii U version, I'm sure of it.

the-pi-guy · Feb 17, 2017, 04:36 PM

It still feels surprising. Games like Zelda should be a huge benefit to the Switch.
I'm excited to see how it does.

In time, but at launch? I imagined the Switch would only do 500 thousand day one since preorders felt limited. Would people preorder Zelda on Switch even if they don't have a Switch preorder?
