"No Zelda. No Switch." is a more common sentiment around the web than you would expect.

Yes, but fact is that Zelda is coming to Switch, and Switch on launch will sell good in evre way becuse hard core Nintendo fans will buy it on launch in evre way (just look Wii U launch sales numbers despite weak launch lineup), so having Zelda few monts after Switch launch (maybe May) will not relly change anuthing, people who said that will buy Switch because Zelda will buy it when Zelda is out. So we can expect good sales of Switch when its launched and when Zelda is released also.

May is not what I think when I read the word several in the OP. Even more when Laura could have told summer or, like in the case of Mario Kart, near launch.

 

Anyway. The launch is not a problem. The problem is what it comes afterwards, which I'm not expecting to be very good with a bunch of ports and having their bigger game until later in the year. Any positive effect Zelda could have as a system seller could have been bigger during launch. But I'll wait and see.
