The Nintendo switch event was a trainwreck

And then the parent will return the Xbox when the kid can't play Nintendo games on it. And if the kid doesn't care about Nintendo games then it wouldn't have wanted the Switch anyways. It's really not that hard.

I still do not believe in the existence of a consumer who has to honestly decide between a Nintendo console or a PS4/X1 based on price.

To beat Wii U sales it needs to be bought by more than just the kids that have to have Nintendo games.

No. To beat Wii U sales(which it easily will) it just has to combine the software libraries of handheld and home console Nintendo. Unless Nintendo stupidly releases a real 3DS successor, there is no chance for the Switch to sell less than Wii U.

But as I said earlier, Wii U sales are not the goal here. It has to reach 40m minimum to not be considered a complete failure.
