- Can switch be a primary system?
|
With the many ways you can play, and the over emphasis on graphics these days can the switch be your primary console?
|
|
Not at the moment

Right now there aren't enough games for the Switch to be my primary console and there are several genres completely missing. The switch's graphics aren't great, but are good enough that if it had the right Library it could become my primary. That said it would have to be a truly incredible one to surpass PC and PS4 right now.
|
|
it COULD be. But it's not going to be.
Ba dum ts da boom!
|
|
It's a side system to the 3DS right now.
|
|
Maybe for others but not for me.

Nope,problem not being graphics or the "ways you can play"... theres just not enough games to even be the secondary, delegated to tertiary system... thats probably never going to change.

I don't see it happening. Nintendo's first party stuff is mostly fantastic and make up many of my favorite games each generation... but with next to no third party support, hard to consider it as a primary.

There's plenty of third party support. Maybe it doesn't have the specific third party games that you want, but there's way more than just Nintendo stuff on this thing. Personally, I have 19 games and only 4 of them were made by Nintendo. Plenty of non-Nintendo games I'm looking forward to, too. |

The switch has become my primary system. Between work and adult life (not saying you guys/gals arnt adults) I don't seem to have time to just sit down at home and play games very much. The switch has helped a lot because I can pack it around and get console quality games on the go when I find a few minuses here and there.

Technically it can be but it won't be.

It just depends on what you like to play. It is becoming mine as it is getting stuff I enjoy playing. For someone else it won't be as they want different games.

Any system could be a main system. The past generation, I barely touched consoles and 3DS and Vita kept me so busy that I'm still playing those systems.
We just cut up our girlfriend with a chainsaw. Does that sound fine?

Not for me.
I don't give a damn how many mushrooms I can find, how many meals I can cook and how many mountains I can climb in Breath of the Wild if the dungeons are trash.

Right now, no. But it's too early to tell.

Currently, no. By the end of the year, possibly yes.

I'm going to say yes. Easily.
If we get Bayonetta 1/2 and a resident evil title, mixed with massive indie support and of course Nintendo IPs.....the Switch really isn't far off from being an ideal system. Currently my GBA is my primary system. I've still got 40 games left to play and I constantly find myself going back and replaying Mario&Luigi, Metroid Zero/4 Boktai 1-3, Tony Hawk (love GBA TH) and Max Payne. . |

For me Nintendo stopped being a primary system after SNES.

Any system can, including the Switch.

Technically speaking any system can be a primary just a matter of your tastes

1st. It need more support from 3rd party. Currently, not much as far as I see.
2nd, it needs to beef up their power and graphic cards to be on par with original ps4 and Xbox one. 3rd. It needs to co-join with 3rd party to make games like rabbid and Mario on end of August or like Super Mario rpg. 4th. It needs to make more consoles/handheld/classic mini, and other acc (amiibo) be available so scalper won't prey on stupid fools who buy from them.

Generally in 2017, thanks to Apple and their "I'm a Mac/I'm a PC" ad campaign, PC is synonymous with Windows. Xbox games aren't on every PC in the broad sense of the term. They are on the PC platform, Windows 10. So PC, Windows 10 in particular, does have first party games. Quite a few of them. Sony and Nintendo aren't the only first parties.

Not at the moment it is to me, i put my ps4pro on a box and is under my bed. SWITCH is on the TV 100% of the time now, nothing to play on PS4.

Depends on whether or not you're also port begging for 3rd party AAA games that have come out on PC, XB1, and PS4, but not the Switch.
If all you care about is Nintendo exclusives, Nintendo ports, and indies, Switch can be a good primary. If you're wanting to play FFXV, Uncharted 4, etc, then you're going to need to get a PS4. Whether or not you then consider PS4 to be primary or the Switch will be up to you based on the games you buy for each platform. |

It can be. I recently broke mine, but its all i played really between march and now with the exception of mlb the show on my ps4. Im also an extrememly busy peraon outaide of gaming so..

This will get lost in the cesspool of haters but
With no console at no point in time has anyone been able to say "This is the only console I'll be playing this generation" 4 months into its lifespan.

Any system can be someone's "primary" console depending on what games they primarily play.
I primarily play Nintendo games, so my Wii U was my primary system. My 360 is a side system used for Batman, GTA, and Skyrim and nothing else.

This will get lost in the cesspool of haters but Maybe in the days of Atari 2600 and NES. Back then, without internet, I knew nothing of what other computers there were. By the SNES, however, I was more familiar with Sega, ColecoVision, etc. I'd have liked to own Sega consoles at the same time as I had SNES, but that never happened as my parents were poor and I was lucky to even get the SNES when it came out. But I suppose that's different, as I wasn't aware of what other similar products were out at that time. |

It will be in a future
Final Fantasy VI, Final Fantasy VII and Dark Souls for Nintendo Switch!

Nintendo consoles are always my primary consoles.
