Wow people are getting riled. That can only mean one thing..... Nintendo are doing well again.

True which is creating a lot of positive headlines about Nintendo.

I still think this has a lot to do with the WiiU confusion. I think the NAME killed the WiiU. I don't think most people actually saw it as a new console but more like a 32X thing like Sega did with the Genesis back in the day. Nintendo consoles always need a NEW unique name. They never used the same name TWICE like with the Wii. There was never a SNES2 or N64 extreme, or whatever. The Switch nailed it home to the audience. It was loud and clear it was something different and a successor to the Wii. 

I mean, the WiiU would have had BOTW and Mario Odyssey yet no one was buying it. Why was this???

I'll wait and see how the sales continue or else this is just a lot of Nintendo followers wanting their true Wii sequel, which was not the WiiU.

It's selling because....It's a great concept, Nintendo fans don't have to buy both a handheld and home console like in previous gens , and hardcore fans have always wanted a console like experience on the go and it's the first time it's been executed properly. It suits so many different play styles and fits around people's lifestyle choices. It's not just Nintendo fans snapping it up, which I have witnessed first hand. I have friends and relatives that are XBox and PlayStation enthusiasts who have all bought Switch systems because shock horror Nintendo have made hardware that actually excites and appeals to them. I know at least 15 non Nintendo gamers ( im from the UK, there are many) who have picked this up. Many professional athletes have a Switch which is great free promotion when their tweeting about it. Let's just say that there are no reasons Switch is doing well other than Nintendo got it right. It's good for the industry and folk should give credit where it's due.
