maybe It is quiet because early adopters are silently weeping waiting for games after zelda now.

Yup, they're definitiely weeping that, after playing the highest rated game of the year, they have to settle for playing the second-highest rated game of the year next.

Highest review doesn't really matter in the grand scheme of things in gaming because Reviews are subjective, at leat for me.

We still need to see once the core audience has been satisfied 4-6 million if the Switch reaches a wider audience or there is a cliff edge drop in sales plus have to realise success may vary by country.

As for games as a wii u owner I wasn't interested in buying a Switch just for Zelda and also not interested in Mario Kart when its pretty much the same version of game as wii u.

Again though its looking more positive than wii u but unsure if it will become a major format like ps4 or even xbox one. It still feels to me that the launch Switch will falter quite quickly and Switch sales will be greater with a revised smaller version at a lower price. However again this is from a UK perspective with what I see happening at retail and may not be the same elsewhere especially the US which seems more positive towards Switch.

Since BotW is a game that you can play for hundreds of hours, and there are some great niche/indie games (Snipperclips, Fast Racing RMX, Shovel Knight), I don't think this is an issue.

Why would they have to wait? There's 46 games released for the Switch so far



I could have sworn I posted in this thread.

Haha, not even close.. 

We're quiet because we're busy playing one of the most epic games of the past decade, Zelda BoW, among others..

Got my Switch the night of launch, and still loving it. 80 hours into Zelda and currently on the last divine beast (took a break and shifted to Has Been Heroes because I'm not as crazy about playing the Divine Beasts as the rest of the game). Currently playing Has Been Heroes, over 50 hours. But I'm soon going to return to Zelda as Has Been Heroes is just getting too insanely difficult to the point where I simply can't progress anymore.. Also Have Binding of Isaac which I've barely played, and Fast RMX, which I still haven't played much. Also been playing the Puyo Puyo Tetris Demo a lot. I also want to get Graceful Explosion Machine, and Mario Kart arrives soon. And I still might buy I Am Setsuna.. I'm probably covered for the rest of the year just with these games. And this doesn't even include Skyrim, Minecraft, Mario Odyssey, Xenoblade 2, NBA Playgrounds, Sonic Mania, Splatoon 2, Stardew Valley, Steamworld Dig 2, Toe Jam and Earl, Wargroove, Payday 2, Monopoly, Rayman Legends Definitive.. all just for the rest of 2017 (pre E3 announcements mind you)
