The WiiU sold out in the beginning as well, but after all the super hard core Nintendo fans got their console, sales died down, and never really picked up again. So that's a faulty metric to discern how the masses recieved the Switch. I highly doubt that there will be a lot of none-Nintendo core fans getting the Switch the first week or two, after that, we'll see what the masses thinks of the Switch, if they even knows it exists. I think that half the Nintendo fans are loving the Switch, and have pre-ordered it, and the other half is bitching about it, but half of those still have pre-ordered it as well.
Who knows why Nintendo is doing what they're doing? I'm not even sure Nintendo nows half the time. They've shown time and time again that they're not interested in delivering services that most people take for granted these days.
I'm making assumtions because Nintendo refused to address them, so it's only natural that we try to fill in the blanks. The ironic thing is, that you made an assumption in that last sentence. I'm probably going to buy the Switch one day, but as it is right now, there's still a lot of unknown factors left.

Yes I did intentionally make an assumption at the end to top off your assumption. Irony is beautiful isn't it? :P
Anyways I do understand how you feel but keep in mind that the pre-order numbers are at an all time high. We're talking sold out at EB Games and Game Stops at over 80+ per store in some locations. The Wii U did not launch with those numbers. The 2 million day once launch rumored number is looking possible. I think Nintendo has this one on lock down. Things are looking bright in the future and it appears Nintendo actually future proofed the Switch unlike the Wii and Wii U.

Those pre-orders could mean that Nintendo fans are more hyped about this console than they were over the Wii U - or that it's launching with a brand new Zelda. We don't know yet. Pre-orders doesn't tell the whole story. But it's a really good thing that Nintendo future proofed it! Allowing 2TB micro SD's was a smart move
