March is a sucky month to launch but many consoles have done it in the past. In one way it's good because by the next holiday season you have built a healthy user population and people won't hesitate to jump in into a a stable family during the Christmas rush.

I firmly believe and I stick to my original perdiction that the Switch will launch at $299. It's a bit high for some people but the machine is great. It will sell.

So 4 million Switch units between March and October, then another 6 million during Holidays 2017. Gonna be a great first year.

And while Skyrim is a great game it's not a significant part of the Switch launch lineup. It's good to have there in the launch window but it will sell maybe 100,000 copies in the same time Mario will sell 2 million.
