Eh? But my cousin told me all the Japanese forums are filled with hate and the country is unanimously mocking it. Are they buying it just to point their fingers and laugh?

On a more serious note, curious how sales will level out after launch. I'm expecting a drop due to the high price of entry, but an influx in sales once Monster Hunter, Pokemon, and Animal Crossing start coming out. Just curious how big that influx will be though.

I think availability is probably going to be low after launch.  That will maintain the perception of the Switch being a hot item while also biding time till MK8 and Splatoon come out.
