I don't even think it needs Pokemon for that, so long as it has a lot of great games (and Zelda is an excellent start). It mainly needs a marketing campaign written by someone who isn't either drunk or suffering from a near-fatal head injury. The Wii U could have been a 4 by 4 inch cube with the power of 3 PS4s and would have struggled for success with the trainwreck of uninformative, clumsy, generic, sometimes even outright embarrassing adds that the Wii U had. If Nintendo screws that up again the Switch will struggle. So far looks like they have that going in the right direction, but we'll see. |
I mean, from what we know, the whole 16/32/128 thing is pretty much the worse news we could hear about the thing, so without a mega franchise like Pokemon, I don't see it selling more than 15m, maybe 20m. Wii U had Mario Kart, and that didn't help it hit 15m. No matter how good Zelda is, I don't see it doing much better without Pokemon.
