Nintendo is a household name with a widly successful portable history and an insane amount of IP. The Switch was day one buy for a lot of people and it's on the road to become the best sold console of all time.
I don't understand how you can call a product that is one magnitude off it a niche product. Valve probably didn't dream of being this close.
- cubefox 4y agoWhen the Switch was first presented, there was a lot of skepticism about whether Nintendo can turn things around with this thing. Many people called it gimmicky and suspected another failure like the Wii U. Is there a way to search for the old Hacker News discussion? In comparison, the Steam Deck was met with a lot of online hype. If anything, the Steam Deck looked more promising before launch than the Switch. Of course the Steam Deck has no big exclusive games, and there was hardly any marketing.
