The difference is both PS4 or Xbox didn't have had much of competition at a time of release. In case of Switch just looking at the release schedule for both PS4 and Xbox in 2017 it may put it in a disadvantaged from the get go.
Btw here's the list of games I listed as games I'd love to try out at the event (you had to fill in that box when registering to the Paris event):
Metroid
Dragon Quest XI
Monster Hunter
Zelda (4th choice, I doubt it's that interesting to try out for only 10 or 20 minutes)
2D Mario
3D Mario
Crash Bandicoot Trilogy
Some of those are way more realistic than others, but you know, gotta cover all the bases.
Oh and obviously Dragon's Dogma 2... lol... haha...

Would the Pikmin coming out on the 3ds not be called Pikmin 4 if that was the case? Why suddenly take the number out the title now.

I'm just in a weird spot with this console. There is zero reason for me to break out whatever this will cost when I have a Wii U and will be able to get Zelda on it too. I'm sure there are others out there in the same situation. I will probably buy this console when there is a game I absolutely can't pass on and can't be played on any other system.
Miyamoto never said he was working on Pikmin 4, the author uses a paraphrase [ ]. Why would he not acknowledge a 3DS game that is releasing in 2017, for a Switch game that's vaporware. He was clearly talking about the 3DS game. It's obviously being reintroduced to the 3DS market so it's probably easier marketing to give it a subtitle as millions of new players are going to experience it.

that is why Nintendo has moved the Wii U version to June, so you'll have a chance to buy a Switch
What ? Miyamoto explicitely said that he was working on Pikmin 4.

Just stop. Even Emily said Pikmin 4 is coming to Switch. Everybody, for the most part,
knows Pikmin for the 3DS is a spinoff.
Just like all other recent consoles.
Steam App for Switch confirmed!
Oh yeah, I forgot about that game lol
That's what I thought first, but being able to play everything everywhere... it got me.
And the 3D mario grew on me so if there's one not too far from launch, it would help, especially with coop.
Jarnuary 12 week-end will tell.
I think people are underestimating how much original stuff Nintendo can put out in addition to ports.
Nintendo is going to have a ton of resources at hand if they're truly unifying development. Just look at how productive Intelligent Systems is.
EDIT:
2011
Pushmo
2012
Fire Emblem Awakening
Crashmo
Paper Mario: Sticker Star
2013
Game & Wario
Daigasso! Band Brothers
2014
Pushmo World
2015
Codename Steam
Fire Emblem Fates
Stretchmo
2016
Paper Mario Colour Splash
Now imagine that all on one system

Both AntMurda and Shikamaru Ninja seem awfully hellbent on Pikmin 3DS being the only Pikmin game in development.
Ask her how confident she is about that rumor...

I love them working on smaller titles like BoxBoy! And Pushmo etc. Would be great to have games like that at launch alongside major games. Maybe the 3rd BoxBoy will launch on Switch in addition to 3DS.
I was sad they never did anything else with Grounding(AFAIK?) because Sakura/Hana Samurai was awesome.
The Pikmin game on the 3DS is most likely a lower-budget spin-off. We've already heard from both Emily & Laura (the latter via her list) that Pikmin 4 (or whatever it's gonna be called) is Switch-bound for this year.
I think in reality the result is actually fewer, higher budget games, which IMO is better

Pretty much.
I haven't had a Nintendo system since the Gameboy Advance days. So, I obviously have a lot of catching up to do.
Yeah, that is what I thought in that other thread. I don't think it means a higher quantity of titles if those devs are going to be working on mid to high tier games. Game development is going to make it a lengthy wait.

Not strictly Nintendo, but I'd love a new Golden Sun. I guess Camelot are busy on something...

Laura said it's coming also.
Not even just Emily. Laura said so and even Tom Philips from Eurogamer acknowledged that.
Ehhh, not necessarily. Variety is good.
Of course you're probably right but it remains to be seen by how much especially when they can still expand to increase productivity or increasingly outsource(Fire Emblem is co-produced with a bunch of other studios).
Leaks can be dangerous
With Zelda maybe not hitting EU at launch, imagine how badly would the Switch perceived here if there will be no Mario day one
But Mario at launch would not have been imagined by many without the rumore
Now, think about emily positive view about Switch year one lineup : Mario kart, smash, splatoon, Zelda, Mario, pikmin etc... Now what if her source didnt share crucial details as them being ports or multi releases with wiiu and 3DS?
I wouldnt consider any rumor as set in stone honestly, for the good or the bad
I'm going to lean towards trusting people that at least provably know something, versus you, who doesn't actually know anything.
posting again since it went ignored

Did Day of Crisis ever come out in America? That looked so cool but I don't remember it ever being released here. Or was it Japan-only like Doshin and you imported?
Speaking of Doshin that's a VC title I wish they'd release like Lost Levels or some of the other Japanese-only VC releases.
Doshin (and Day of Crisis) were both released in Europe.
Never released in US, but it came out in Europe and Australia.

So you think that the Pikmin game coming to Switch is a port of the 3DS game?
One of the major tragedies during the Wii days. NoA simply refused to bring games like that over, which fuggin' sucked. North America got screwed over hard back then. With things being region free, that kind of thing will matter less...I hope.
Probably the morning of the 13th. I'm going to order mine from the Nintendo Store though. It's where I got my N3DS and the price was competitive and it even got delivered the day before official release.
I'm not asking for less big productions, but I'll sure like to see more budget games though because experimental Nintendo -> safe, "franchise" Nintendo.
I think that until (hopefully not after ) january 13 is better to stay open minded about many aspects of the Switch, from price to software and so on
There could be so many gaps from what we hope for/ think it is obvious to what we could actually get
Starting from Nintendo actual plan to merge their home and portable lineups
I'm a grown ass adult with a vehicle that doesn't travel much. LOL, most of my games will be played at home so I don't care about the portable aspect.

I feel like it's asking a lot for them to beat the prices of machines released 3.5 years earlier.
Would you say you are an expert on this?
Good job you won't have to worry about picking what third party games to buy. ;-)
I have two kids, one TV, small spare time. I have just spent ten days at the seaside in my second home.
both situation would benefit a lot from an "increased " off TV gamepad; p
