The Nintendo Switch: Are Consumers On Board?

Nintendo recently announced the release of their newest console, the Nintendo Switch. This console combines portability with functionality, with the look of a handheld device but the performance of a larger, sit-down console. It is believed that Nintendo took this turn because of it's mixed reviews of the Wii U. But the question is; have consumers bought into this new way of gaming? The answer is not clear as of yet, since the product is still so new. However, there are definitely some pros and cons that have been revealed from the first few weeks the product has been out.

Pros:
- Portable and compact
- Gives consumers the same nostalgic feeling with the release of revamped classic games such as Zelda
- Multiplayer is easily accessible on the go, taking away the stigma that video games are an anti-social event
- Release price is equal to the Wii U.
Cons:
- The game library is notably small, with only a handful of games when the console was released.
- The console does not come with any games when purchased, which differs from the Wii and Wii U, which either came with a game or had the option of bundling.
- Previous Wii and Wii U games cannot be played on the new console.
