It's now the 'other' console though isn't it? Like the NES was THE console, then Sega took a bite and now Sony and Microsoft are your big 2 and you 'also' have a Nintendo.
Oh hey what you playing Fifa on? Not Nintendo. Oh hey this new game is out, what's it on? Everything but Nintendo!
The Switch, will do fine, Nintendo will make money. Out of their piece of the market. Out of there comfortable 'we will not change strategy' market.
If that's all they want, fine. But with iOS and the like taking a large chunk out of the handheld market, well. A different approach isn't a bad idea...
You buy a Nintendo system to play Nintendo games - not as a main console (unless Nintendo games are all you want).
I'm not saying Nintendo is in trouble, or is going to die - I'm just saying they could do better. Easily.
