This is a Superchunk prediction. He has a better track record than most here.

I can't attest to superchunk's prediction track record but I can say that I definitely agree with his number 6.

6) Constant Games - Nintendo's biggest issue has been software droughts. They typically plan for supported launch with minimal 1st party games shortly after with the expectation that 3rd parties would be there too. That doesn't happen. So Nintendo must support the hardware solo but they have to split their resources between two consoles. As such the consoles each suffer as teams move between them. This is gone.

Like Microsoft and Sony, Nintendo needs to start focusing on one platform and only one platform, it being the NX.

 

As for buying it day one: I'm going to wait and see. I don't care to pre-order nowadays.
