I’m certainly glad the 3DS is pretty much end of life and they can focus on delivering titles for a single platform now. The Switch has been delivering great first party titles (Zelda, Mario Odyssey), and with things like Pokémon on the horizon there’s plenty of reasons to be optimistic. The Switch is also going to be a great platform for them to build their product portfolio over the next decade or so - I can already see a Switch Mini (cheaper, smaller, non detachable controllers, for people who only care about the handheld experience), the Switch XL (iPad sized, 4K out, optimized for local multiplayer, perhaps with exclusive GameCube virtual console), etc. Plus they have an amazing catalog, and offering a “play all you want retro games on demand” for $20 a month seems like an easy way to add an additional revenue stream. In my friend group, I've seen the Switch become a hit with an unexpected market: people who grew up playing videogames but kind of gave up on them as real life took over except for the odd smartphone game, would never consider buying an XBox/PlayStation, might not even have a TV at home, but are attracted by the nostalgia of playing a Zelda or Mario game. The form factor of the Switch works perfectly for this demographic (in my observed anecdata, many of them are women in their 20s/early 30s). Nintendo has periods where they perform terribly in the market and periods where they do amazing. As a stockholder, I hope we’re back in one of those periods :)
