Yeah I think the UK data threw a few people. Launch sales look extremely positive now. I've said this thing will be Wii level of success but I didn't expect Switch to beat Wii's launch numbers. 

Now we will have to see how the legs are. Will it stay strong or will it die down until the holiday? I think it needs one holiday to truly launch its sales potential. I'm expecting a massive Christmas for this thing.

I think it will be more consistent than streaky as the Wii was, though the first 2 years were Godly for the Wii and nothing will ever match that. 

MK8, Splatoon, Xenoblade, FE Warriors, ARMS and Odyssey is an excellent lineup for the next 9 months imo. Think MK8 is genius seeing as how many people missed out on the Wii U and you get the full DLC package. Even though I have it on the Wii U I might actually pick it up again just cause it's an amazing offer and I never got the DLC's.

They've put out a consistent first party lineup that third parties need to fill out and I think seeing these numbers they'll be encouraged to push their games out quicker now.

MK8 sold 8 million copies on the Wii U though, the attach rate was insane ... so I'm not sure how much of a system seller that will be. It will do well obviously, but I think some impact from it could be a bit blunted.
