This feels disgusting: Investor hope that Switch fail so Nintendo would put all their effort for Mobile

I think it is funny that people don't think this would be a good idea. I don't agree that they should focus just on mobile gaming, but I do think that Nintendo has ran out of time to produce a good console for this generation or any generation from now on. The issue I see with the Switch is the launch window. At this time a factory refurb Xbox One can be purchased at $199, black friday will bring the price down for that window of time, come March at the launch of the switch a price cut will likely happen on their new consoles. When the Switch launches it will easily be $300-400 just based on all the shit they are doing, knowing this and that far superior consoles are much cheaper, where is the market? Switch will be another WII U, OK concept destroyed by bad timing.
And people that play the nintendo innovates card, other than WII Sports promoting shovelware, has any nintendo home console innovation really did good for their games for these past generations? We get waggle controls in games that don't need it, and off screen gameplay.
Overall I just think that nintendo would fair much better releasing higher quality games on a platform that people actually buy (mobile devices or competing consoles).
