Nintendo pulls the Switch, fires Joy-con at Microsoft and Sony

I liked the Wii,especially the controls - I wasn't hunched over, I could spread out a bit. I agree that the motion thing was a bit over rated though. Realise this is a generalisation, but found games for other consoles tended to be FPS or driving games.

Upgraded to the Wii U, which had things like Netflix, lovefilm and BBC iplayer (but my broadband sucks, so never tried them), so the new kit possibly have them as well.

The other plus with the Wii U, and Wii is that have backward compatibility with earlier Nintendo consoles - I can still play my Wii games. Can't see that happening with the Switch and the cartridges, unless it's possible to download the games - but why the hell should I buy the same game again???

I'll take a wait and see approach on this one, with any new console it's a chicken and egg situation. I ain't buying it unless there are games for it, but no one will write games for it unless people buy it!
