The Switch reveal has been positively received by fans and customers, but what about retailers? What do the companies who will sell the console in March think about it? To that end, MCV has contacted representatives of some UK-based retailers about the Switch and asked them about their impressions and what questions they still have about the device:

ShopTo’s head of commercial Alison Fraser:

It’s very Nintendo to bring something new and different to the market. The early third party list supporting the console is impressive. Let’s see what gaming brands are announced over the coming months.

The storage space is high up on the list of questions. The future is most certainly going the digital way for Nintendo as well. The storage will dictate the requirements for cartridges which are unclear at the moment.

HMV games buyer Nathan Allen:

I was pleasantly surprised by the Switch reveal and I’m optimistic about it’s sales potential. I think it’s a significant step up from the Wii U and, with the third party support they’re boasting, will hopefully appeal to a very broad spectrum of consumers. I look forward to seeing more details around the specs and, crucially, price! With the more powerful and established PS4 and Xbox One consoles now hovering around £249, the Switch needs to be competitive

Gameseek’s Stephen Staley:

Would running a game like Breath Of The Wild drain the battery quickly? The controllers look a bit small when they’re detached from the Switch, so will they cause discomfort?

Also, if Switch isn’t going to support 3DS or Wii U games, will this harm sales?
