So, looking through all of this, the main cons seem to be:

  1. Its expensive, especially the accessoires & paid online
  2. Game Line-Up is looking slim, especially among western third parties

And, yeah, I kinda agree, but I also think its way to early to say "Oh noes, Nintendoom 4 sure this time!"
Remember, its only January.

They, and others, have promised more reveals over the next months, including things like VC and Online details, hell Reggie went out of his way to tease something, something, mother3 & metroid!

Also: There is still E3! They need to preserve something big for that! The last time they made all the big announcements early (January 2013 Direct) it ended up biting them in the ass for years. Not only was the E3 that year dissapointing due to the lack of surprises, the fact that those games werent the general layout of the next two years, but of the entire lifespan of the Wii U wasnt all that great either.

And last but not least: They are launching in March! We never expected big numbers, you pretty much cant be more off-season than that!
The true test of the Switch will be this holiday season, when it goes up against its own antithesis in form of project scorpio. By then it could have gotten a lot more games and announcements of the latter, a price drop and some neat bundles.

So I'm just gonna wait and see. I never planned on buying a switch at launch anyway, and I've got my Wii U for Zelda, so I dont need to.

I feel you, I really do, I'd like to have the guarantee that this works out and they dont mess it up again as well, but unfotunatly thats not how it works. So lets all keep calm and wait how this develops.

Dont forget: The Cons (price & games) are FIXABLE! So who knows? We could be in for a surprise!
