Now to drop some facts.
-3DS launched in February. A first quarter launch is not unheard of.
-SNES launched with F Zero, Pilot Wings, and Super Mario World on day one.
-N64 launched with Pilot Wings and Mario 64. That's it.
-The worldwide launch of the Vita was in February.
-Vita (beloved on this site) was $300 at launch for the 3G version and ZERO memory.
-The PS4 and Xbox One launched with several features unavailable. I could list them if you want.
The Switch launch doesn't feel like a "soft launch" to me. I've been around long enough to say it just feels like a launch. Period.
