Own a Wii U. Expect however many gaming websites to say the same thing

Go out in the real world and people will think you're talking about the Wii. Thankfully, the Switch is more well known. Even my clueless friends still knew it was "that new Nintendo console"

Not sure if this counts for your research im a wii U owner who wont buy a switch.



So then, do you guys think the Switch is making a huge impact to gamers that never owned a Wii U?

 Do you think the majority of Switch owners now never owned a Wii U before? I know there really isn't enough hard evidence to prove either way, but that is why I'm trying to gather as much data as possible.

With the original Wii it was easy to see that it was reaching people outside the hardcore Nintendo fan base in a big way, but with the Switch its still debatable. 



Right here.



"Just for comparison Uncharted 4 was 20x bigger than Splatoon 2. This shows the huge difference between Sony's first-party games and Nintendo's first-party games."

Yep! Bought the The Wii U 2-3 Weeks after it launched. Now bought the Switch 1 month after it launched!



Pocky Lover Boy!

Excuse me but can't you use a poll? Or is that not a thing here?

I plan on getting a Switch , and have a dusty Wii U in the garage 😆



Bought a wii u at launch time but haven't bought a Switch yet and probably won't until the end of the year or next year. However if Mario Odessey is pants then it might take a lot longer to buy one. I bought a Gamecube at launch but didn't buy a wii until 4 years after launch so clearly the more successful the console the less likely I am to buy it.

This site isn't the best site to gauge your research on.

Here's some anecdotal evidence for you: Last week on my airplane home a guy sat by me and pulled out his Switch so we started talking about it. He told me he hadn't played video games since the '90s but the Switch interested him enough to buy one. Take that for what it's worth.

To be clear, I'm asking this question on mutlple gaming sites/pages.  

I would hope you're asking it in Japanese sites too, the ones who would be the major players in terms of going from console to handheld Matt, those are the people you need to google translate and ask.

Asking tiny pockets of the internet is pointless, literally pointless.



Why not check me out on youtube and help me on the way to 2k subs over at www.youtube.com/stormcloudlive
