I disagree. The switch is an amazing handheld. But it will not be a true console until they get a minimum development of apps (i.e. Netflix and Internet Browser), a proper travel dock, and a commitment to bring in third party games.

I think by the end of 2018 we will see if they are going to fix where they have gone wrong since the n64.

By releasing the New Switch 3D Plus!




I do hope the "upgraded" dock is the way they go.

That's a really obtuse set of requirements.

By this measure the Super Nintendo isn't a console.

Eh. Do that many people use consoles instead of dedicated streamers, sticks, etc.? It's a nice bonus, but I have 3 TV's, 2 consoles...and every TV either has streaming via the TV or a stick or dedicated device.

Is there a proper travel dock for the PS4 or XBOX?

This would have to be define. I assume this means "AAA third party games at the same time as Sony/MS consoles." And that's a little unfair. If we're talking about just 3rd party activity, it's actually quite strong now. Skyrim, Fifa, Doom, Wolfenstein, Bayonetta, Mario+Rabbids, Payday 2, Dark Souls, Street Fighter 30th Anniversary+Ultra, is not a bad lineup.

Why does a GAMING console need all that?

Is the Dreamcast not a true console b/c it couldn't play DVDs while the PS2 could?
