Different markets seem to have different responses to Switch but even in the more positive markets its hard to know the number of people who want a Switch. It may be like wii u with a good launch and then the sales figures drop to a very low level but does look like for the US and Japan the Switch will do well and I think long term the Switch will do good numbers in Japan.
It is a very high risk product and I certainly don't see it as having guaranteed success at this point. I'm expecting it to struggle to find a wider audience simply because of pricing and lack of content at least for the first year. Of course prices can change though but solving the lack of compelling content is much more difficult and no backwards compatibility either to help. It's' going to be interesting to watch if nothing else. I'm in the strange position of wanting others to buy it but don't want it myself so the format keeps going and a better product comes along later.
