Do those who said Nintendo won't have enough time to advertise the Switch still think so?

They don't really need to advertise much for initial sales due to the Nintendo fanbase who will buy the console and games whatever. When they need to create a wider audience for Switch they will need to advertise.

The start of the online subscription service is probably the same time as a big Switch price cut which willl be far enough from the launch that no compensation is required for early adopters. This will also be the start of a major marketing campaign in the run up to Christmas.
