Norm says it should have been an easy home run, as if developing a new console is easy. 

Norm Says that based on the hype the reveal trailer created. Everyone was hyped and confident Nintendo finally understood what the market wanted from them.  He also say that because of how things got sour (for many people) after the Switch Presentation event. 

The only major mistake (we currently know of) is imo not having a pack-in game. I can't see 1-2 Switch selling well at full retail price. It simply doesn't look like a full-priced game and it would have been an ideal pack-in game to show of the new tech. I can't see many people buying this party game. 

People say that because Nintendo has included a Pack-in games for many of their consoles. But the competition has never included a pack-in games on release as far as I can remember. It's simply industry standard at this point, and I don't think it's fair to criticize Nintendo for that, while giving a free pass to the other 2 console manufacturers. That being said, I agree with you that 1-2 Switch would have made a very good pack-in game. If only to showcase the Joy-Con's capabilities. But I can see that game, as crap as "core" gamers may think it is, will be tons of fun at parties.
