Really?So an awesome Mario game wouldnt pull people in(outside of Nintendo fans), an awesome HD Animal Crossing wouldnt do the same?An Fire Emblem?

After Pokemon GO, people became quite blind to the fact that Nintendo has more than Pokemon that sells hardware.....

Didn't the Wii U have an awesome Mario game?  Is Fire Emblem really going to increase sales to a meaningful degree?

It did have, but Wii U problem were way beyond of just software related problems.Even if it had the best Mario, best Pokemon, best Zelda and so on, the console wouldnt have fared that much better.

But yeah, Mario games does sell, just like Pokemon games.Fire emblem is on the rise, with Fates possibly reaching 4 million units sold.Not only that, but the most important factor to consider is the mobile games of these same franchises, that can revitalize/bump the franchise brand awareness to new heights, making them enough to make someone buy a Switch for it.

Im not saying that one games alone will sell the system.Hell, even if we had the Pokemon game we always wanted(an open world pokemon MMO style of game) wouldnt be enough by itself if that was all the Switch had to offfer.It is a combined effort to sell a system.Or if you prefer, a system is always sold on a promise, a promise of great games comming to it.And Mario and Fire Emblem certainly fits those categories.
