And if that was the inverse (9 positive vs 35 mixed) would have make the IGN reviewers perspective any more meaningful or any less shortsighted? How do you know whether or not the 35 positive reviews are not mostly just buying into the hype, or giving the Switch the benefit of the doubt?

No, it wouldn't be more respectable, it simply wouldn't be part of the minority.

But this one is part of the majority of "positive reviews" you like:

After a week with the Switch, I really like it — but I’d also recommend that anyone who hasn’t preordered hold off on purchasing one for the time being. ... It’s hard to not feel like the Switch was rushed to market — Nintendo was still figuring out its launch lineup just days before the system was due to hit store shelves, and my hardware troubles give me serious pause.

"Don't buy it right now, I like it but it's rushed, with hardware troubles and a questionable launch lineup"

I almost find the IGN review nicer to the Switch than this one ^^.
