Pent up demand from people wanting something that isn't the Wii U, first 6-8 weeks should be massive. This is why I don't understand those who think it'll sell only a few million for the entire CY. First shipment will disappear right away, the real question is what happens after the dust has settled and slow season sets in, that's the real test.

Well, the Wii U only had a good month: launch. By Dec 2012 was already in alarming numbers, so I think we may have a better pic of the situation for the Switch at April 2017.

Well launch numbers should be good as usual.  Then we have Mario Kart the month after.  Numbers should stay respectable.  

 

The first challenge will be the baseline until splatoon.  Then after an expected boost what kind of numbers will it do for the rest of the year will be the most telling.
