Forums - Gaming Discussion - The switch launch feels very quiet...

I mean besides Zelda there wasn't anything on it. I been saying unlike the Wii U, but similar to the 3DS the first 2 years of switch will be meh, but then after the 2nd year when a price drop hits, and the library increases it will sell very well.

Well it's basically a Zelda launch.

Not sure if you know this buy year 1 & 2 were the best selling years for 3DS so not a good comparison.

What i am seeing are a lot people scalping but not selling for above 300 so that says something

Oh please, do a bit of research before you say things like that.A quick search on ebay shows that people are selling the Switch(and it alone), for at least 400 dollars

I'm seeing $315, $325 on ebay as well.

Of what I know, Nintendo Switch will do much better than the Wii U on the charts. I don't get why you guys say the launch is too quiet. I've heard they had 2 million Switches for launch and of what I heard of it's sold out everywhere. 



Most Switches I've seen on eBay have sold between $380 to $430, but I spotted a few that sold for $350, and even a couple under $300 (with free shipping).

I'd guess demand will probably go down within a month?



It'll do better than Wii U, only because theyll be sitting on this one longer

And also because they are combining their handheld with their console. We really should compare its sales to that of the WiiU+3DS.



Compared to? Most huge game launches for me have been quiet. People are playing the games...  And it's in March. Nintendo chose this time frame for a reason, and we'll see soon, why they did this. 3DS wasn't much of a launch either, Nintendo releases these things in March to build up the game library and hype before the holiday.
