Nintendo’s Resurgence

If you look at the Switch and the Wii U, it feels to me that they probably stemmed from the same pitch:

"Wouldn't it be great to have a home console that you can take away to the other room for when someone else wants to use the TV?"

The difference is that the tech with the Wii U wasn't good enough yet to make a really great product. With the Switch it is now cheap enough to make a really high quality product.

WiiU felt like a bundle of compromise and business pressure.

Switch feels like a lesson learned.

I like this insight. It means they doubled down on the idea; and won.
