I honestly agree with the investors, I was far from surprised by the reveal.
I don't think it was bad, but certainly not surprising/good/thrilling either.
What haven't they announced? The spec?
I wonder if this was all they had and now they're changing stuff up to keep the shareholders happy.
I mean, they're right.
Switch looks incredible and I cannot wait to place my pre-order, but good lord. Nintendo built up a ridiculous air of mystery around this thing, only to go on to reveal what everyone already knew. It was almost Kojima level bait 'n switch.
Just announce a Pokemon Go port to it.
In my head I was thinking some sort of sandbox or virtualization but I guess I didn't exactly elaborate =) I have a strong feeling their mobile apps will be playable somehow on it and Android seemed a likely route. Either that or they'd have to port them to be native. Seems easier to just run the Android version in the long run. It sounds like a touch screen will be there reading through the lines and that only makes sense for some sort of tablet mode since it won't apply to Switch games.Could be, they could also have a virialised solution like PS3 and Xbox One have where you can have a GameOS and a System OS running side by side (not in parallel on the PS3, in terms of the Linux OtherOS) and both on top of a hypervisor. I think that they would want native NX games (I will keep using NX as the X is a perfect shorthand for a switch ) running on top of Android. Even NDK activities do have a minor penalty compared to more direct hardware access solution such as what you have on iOS or even more on 3DS and PS Vita.
which market had a lukewarm reaction?
I'v seen big interest around the web and even the press reported the news. the lack of details about games and price was an issue, because peopla ARE interested

I never understand this line of thinking. I get it with Pokémon too.
If something leaks, what do you expect? They still have to reveal it. They can't just change things.
For the unannounced surprises i think the person who illustrated this has it pretty much on point.
And, maybe my view is biased now since the leaks have already happened, but I feel like even if it being a hybrid was successfully kept far and away under wraps, I thihnk it still wouldn't have seemed like an "oh holy shit" moment upon it's reveal.
There wasn't a lot to be excited about, to be honest. After the sheen wore off and people started asking questions, discussions got real sober real quick.
People raising VERY valid concerns about the HDD space, the ports on the base station, the baby controllers and their comfort, the battery life, the price, quality of the tablet display (resolution, technology used), and the power a mobile table GPU will be able to offer in a world that will be imminently inundated with PS4 Pro's, Scorpio's and VR.
While being portable is cool, it's Nintendo digging in deeper with the audience that was already going to buy their next system. What is the system doing to appeal to those who stopped buying Nintendo hardware because of weak hardware or slow turnout of games? What is it doing to appeal to those who are trying to decide what their next system will be and are looking at all 3 of their options? What is it doing to appeal to grown-ass adults that drive to work and don't have a lot of time in their day where they need a mobile gaming system? Investors are all about how a company is going to GROW. Show me how the Switch will not simply sustain its existing market, but GROW it. Nintendo has yet to address any of the above and its investors are reacting accordingly.
i would assume that not all of the details of the platform and how it might interact with nintendo's plans were revealed today. this is a platform made with not just stuff like nintendo account in mind, but also their other more recent initiatives. i think the switch will rather comprehensively cover all their bases for the new direction iwata set for the company.
Shares drop after an announcement.
Fucking newsflash.
Yup. Best to pretend this is unusual bad news so the doom train can keep goingShares drop after an announcement.
Fucking newsflash.
My guess would be the tablet is Android based which would allow their mobile apps to run on it and make it easier to support various media apps. My other guess, which is unlikely, is they announce 3DS compatibility.
Games. I imagine quite a lot of them including ports but still. Sun & Moon port will probably launch with it.
Hardware features, motion Control functionality, integration With phones, touch screen (lol), os features, games, Nintendo account features. Who knows.

I am pretty sure Sony was breaking even or even making a tiny profit from the PS4 from day 1.
I honestly agree with the investors, I was far from surprised by the reveal.
I don't think it was bad, but certainly not surprising/good/thrilling either.
Sony was breaking even after selling a combination combination of games and/or PS Plus so they were taking a slight loss on the hardware at launch.

Investors are dumb, they also thought Pokémon Go was a Nintendo game

That happens when things leak. It happens with everyone now. You can't really get a surprise in the gaming industry.
It was extremely late announcement imo and all the third party games are old ports.
I mean, Who the fuck want to play skyrim anymore.

Pokémon will sell it alone. It has a handheld component. You know the systems Nintendo thrives in?If only that transitioned into actual sales....
