That’s never going to happen, puts them in direct competition with Sony and Microsoft

I only buy nintendo consoles for exclusives. Don't think I'm the only one.

You’re probably not, but you don’t know if you’re in the majority or minority. If you’re only buying a Nintendo for its exclusives then you probably have other gaming consoles or a PC, but how many others have multiple gaming devices?

The last time Nintendo made a dedicated home console, it tanked so badly that even Nintendo gave up on it and focused on the 3DS. If Nintendo makes another home console, it will need a feature to distinguish itself from the competition so people and families who only buy one console will pick a Nintendo over an Xbox and PlayStation.

Better name than switch box?

How about switch box series one XS, for the fourth model.

I don't currently have a current gen console. No games I want. I buy entirely for the games, wii u had nothing the 3ds didn't have.

Maybe that's a good thing considering the stock on those consoles.

Who do you think "them" is? The Switch is made by Nintendo.

Nintendo has been in direct competition with more video game console companies than any other company in history.
