GameStop seeing “tremendous demand” for Switch, higher pre-order attach rate than Wii U

I'm pretty sure they mean scapler demand.  We've heard this talk before from gamestop and nothing materialzed when it was all said and done.  Not to say that the switch won't experience the same thing but a little skepticism is warranted.

Not really, actually Wii U had very good launch with around 3m sold consoles at launch, problems with Wii U sales started right after launch in January.

The Wii U launch was more or less in line with what Nintendo typically does for a November launch to the end of the year (Gamecube 3.29 not adding the .51k from Japan's early launch, Wii 3.19, Wii U 3.09).  Two of those three consoles were commercial failures and one was a success... so taking this statement from Gamestop with a grain of salt is ok because these preorders are not indicative of its future.
