But that is all speculation. What makes you think the Switch is getting more public attention than the Wii U? 

As it is your claim.

As for the why, look at the recent exposure to the brand in the last year.Pokemon Go, Super Mario Run, all those things are helping people recognize the brand, either for the first time or people that have forgotten about it.Secondly, the switch already has games that people are really excited about.Mario zelda, Splatoon, Xenoblade, etc.And neither the Wii U and 3DS had that(from the beginning) as far as I can remember.That in turn becomes into more discussion.I mean, just look at how crazy was this past few months with the Switch rumours.People say thats standard affair for new consoles launches, but I dont remember that much discussion (before launch) for XOne and PS4.

And if you want more raw data, just look at the attention Zelda got at E3, being game of the year.Nintendo also was the most discussed company for the event in social media if Im not mistaken.Not only that, but the Switch teaser trailer is almost on 24 millions views, and that just on Nintendo official youtube channel.The views on the trailers of the games that were shown in this presentations are already relatively high, and thats under 24 hours.(Mario is almost at 2 millions).

As I said, Nintendo just needs to market this.if it does, it has a chance of being very successful.Even if things like online subscription is a horrible thing.

Just because nintendo releases some mobile games, people aren't going to suddenly buy the Switch. I laid out my reasons as to why I think the Switch will do poorly, and that lies down to a terrible launch. Zelda isn't going to save this. We aren't even seeing a proper Mario game for nearly 8 months after the Switch is released.
