Sme people think this thing will sell up to 40M???

I see it selling better than the wiiU, but only cause 13M is an easy hurdle to scale. It won't do better than 30M though....

And anyone that thinks it will, I really want to know what their reasons are... besides it just being nintendo that is.

too expensive to be a handheld or even a home console. Will have limited support as always so it won't succeeed as a home console, expensive accessories and again too expensive which means its priced itself out of the impulse buy handheld market.

Very weak software lineup for the first year, and yes.....software sells hardware. So after mario kart, splatoon, zelda new mario is released for it (which remember all did 13M worth of good for the wiiU) what next, no 3rd party games to fill in the gaps.... you just wait for the next iteration of those games again. Its like the wiiU all over again.

I disagree completely with weak software lineup.

While third party is somewhat decent, at least much better than the Wii U had, nintendo first party offering for the first year is really good.It may not have an obscene ammount of first party games, but the ones it has are high quality.Mario, Zelda, Splatoon, Xenoblade Chronicles 2,Mario Kart 8 are all but certain to be excellent games.And there is Fire Emblem warriors and ARMS, both of which holds promise.And thats not inclusing the small projects, like the puzzle game with a complicated names, which are neat additions.Sincerely, this 9 months(not even a year) looks much better than the 3DS and Wii U, and to be quite honest, its the best first year in a LONG while, and thats probably not the whole story, since nintendo is probably holding stuff the show that will still release this year, since we saw that there is already a Direct comming and E3 is not far off the Switchs launch.And lets not fool ourselves, XOne and PS4 offering in the first year was mediocre at best, especially since the first party games were not good with some exceptions and most third party games were cross gens.

Switch has a good concept, the price is not bad, and has the software.It just needs to get it right with the marketing.Nintendo needs to market this product hard.
