Nintendo Switch Could Be a "Game-Changer" That Expands Gaming's Audience, GameStop Says

After the Wii U underperformed, retailer GameStop appears to be optimistic about Nintendo's Switch console. Speaking during an earnings briefing today, CEO Paul Raines revealed that he played the console and came away impressed. "The Nintendo Switch, which I played at Nintendo a few weeks ago--we believe could be another game-changer that will expand the audience for gaming," the executive said.

I agree, I think the Switch could spice things up. Gaming laptops are still expensive and having something that’s ultra-mobile and cheap give the Switch an edge. The latest generation of Consoles are essentially gaming PCs and beyond exclusive games don't bring anything unique to the table. Playstation does have its VR system now which is the most cost effective enthusiast level VR product, but the Switch is something else entirely. I'm not sure if I'm a huge fan of the controllers but the idea is awesome.
