Nintendo Switch is not a follower neither a Wii U nor 3DS.
Yesterday, as you probably noticed from the video to play on the new Nintendo console Switch, you will need to insert the cartridge, which Nintendo calls “game card”. It looks like the cartridges for the 3DS, but the developers promised to keep quiet about the parts of the device until the beginning of 2017 years, still confirmed that they are two completely different things.
Nintendo Switch is not a follower neither a Wii U nor 3DS, so removable media from these devices in any case not suitable for the new console.
Meanwhile, the Nintendo release Switch is scheduled for March of next year. Although this is, of course, did not prevent analysts to predict the fate and cost of boxes now.
In particular, the infamous fortune teller Michael Pakter (Michael Pachter) of Wedbush Securities Agency believes that it all depends on the technical capabilities of the device. If they are close to the capacity of the PlayStation 4, then Nintendo is unlikely to turn up more than the price tag of 299 US dollars apiece. If the filling Switch is weaker, then the cost likely will be lower.
Thus, according to Pakter, the similarity between the technical characteristics will facilitate porting games to the new console, and then third party publishers will be more willing to support the platform. While there is a noticeable difference may lead to exactly the opposite result.
Executive Director of SuperData of Jost van Dren (Joost van Dreunen) in General believes that over three hundred bucks, the ideal option would be to Switch sets from Nintendo and games like “Zelda” or “Mario”. Otherwise, the market potential of the consoles will be significantly reduced, because for the same money it will have to compete with the giants in the face PlayStation 4 and Xbox One.
Dr. Serkan Toto (Serkan Toto), specializing in the analysis of the mobile market of Asia, sees the main problem Nintendo Switch that consoles there are some outstanding features. And in principle, it is not clear who the Japanese see the target audience of the device. Is that become fans of Nintendo products. The idea that you can play at home and beyond, not so new. And casual gamers mostly hang out on the mobile experience to compete with Nintendo which will be Oh how difficult, he stated. Even the PlayStation 4 is struggling to cope with this task.
By the way, after the Japanese showed the world the Switch, shares of Nintendo, which is one day prior to announcement of increased 4.6 percent fell by 6.5 percent, depriving the market value of the company hardly appeared a billion dollars.
