I'm getting more and more certain that the vast majority of the Switch pre-orders were in fact Wii U owners upgrading, which makes things really interesting in many different ways. |
Wasn't that always clear though? Who would buy the Switch right now if not a Wii U owner? Certainly not the 3DS owners, there's not enough software yet. Kids are getting their presents on christmas. I doubt there was anyone purchasing the Switch at launch that's not a Wii U owner or part of the general Nintendo fandom.
Holiday numbers should be more telling about Switch's broad appeal. Until then only Wii U owners will be buying and maybe one or two 3DS owners with too much money on their hands.
If you demand respect or gratitude for your volunteer work, you're doing volunteering wrong.
