Seriously, Nintendo have never made a single console that could play video files out of the box. The Wii had netflix (and I presume the WiiU did too) but other than that, nothing media related. Add to that, they always underpowered their systems so don't get some of the latest and greatest titles (ala GTA) and I start asking myself why would I want another Nintendo console? The only answer is the software. What if I could just play Mario and Zelda on the Xbox or Ps4? Hell, what if I could have it on pc? Yeah I'd take that instead of buying another Nintendo console. I end up getting the 'mainstream' console alongside the 'Nintendo' console because of the exclusivity, I don't care much for the console itself.

Have you played Zelda BOTW and Mario Odyssey? Only a fool would say there's nothing 'new' happening in Nintendo games!
you mean that zelda game we had to wait an entire console generation to play and all it was, was a massive map with repetetive shrines, no story and randomised quests?
mario a similar thing, open world rinse repeat collect star and move on?
well done give yourself a pat on the back because you named 2 titles, one sucked arse, even as a zelda fan BOTW was a very piss poor attempt at trying to do an open world game.
Mario, well its always been the same shit just prettier graphics.
but regardless, nintendo are being ever more lazy on the switch porting the same old titles over to it, only the devoted fanboys are defending (as the always do), using the excuse ohh maybe you didnt play it on the wii u...... well i can get a wii u for £30 and the game likely £10..... what incentive is their to pay £280 and then £50 for the same crap ported.
you expect this from third parties since nintendo's last system again being a cheap inferior machine, coudnt run anything much more than what the PS3 could do, and theyve been there done that and its time to move on..... hence the real reason why the wii u failed, as usual lacking third party support.
nintendo will eventually go the same as sega, many of us have said this for a very long time, thats because nintendo have no care about consoles and havent done so for a very long time.
all nintendo care about is how it can market cheap old inferior hardware with gimmicks to sell.
you can walk into any game store and ask why it is that you see shelves from start of a store down to the end when it comes to microsoft and sony consoles, yet nintendo sections are just a standard rack/shelf..... says something about its lacking support.
