we still have no idea if nintendo is killing off the 3ds line and merging console and portable, so we still have a tablet controllerI think it's funny that the tables are turning and people aren't even noticing. Nintendo is going back to basics by removing 3D and Dual Screens from their next console, and people are complaining that it's gimmicky. Sony and other companies are going balls-deep into the VR fad (which is the very definition of a gimmick IMHO) with expensive, clunky, and generally uncomfortable to use devices/peripherals and everyone praises them for it.
I'm not saying the Switch is a perfect console, or that gimmicks are necessarily *bad* in a videogame console, but I can't be the only one who's noticed this trend.
theres a difference in that you are not forced to buy them with the system, vr headsets are an optional add-on
and you most likely wouldnt even need nintendo hardware to run the games as we have seen before with tegra "exclusive" gamesJust because the Switch has a tegra chip, doesn't mean its OS is based on Android. If it's Android, the console would be heaven for pirates.
