It's way too early to tell anything from the sales other than they had a good launch supply, but if anything Zelda having 100% attach rate with the console affirms how poor the rest of the launch slate is, and it's going to need more than Zelda to sustain sales.

Huh? The only thing Zelda's attach rate affirms is how desirable the game is. What would prove that the rest of the launch slate is poor are the sales of those other games, not Zelda's sales.

Also, if Zelda can achieve such an attach rate, it means that it can move hardware well beyond launch week. There's no reasonable way to conclude that everyone who wanted Zelda already got it.

As for more big games, Mario Kart 8 Deluxe is coming in late April.

The attach rate affirms how singular Zelda is as the system seller at launch.  Sales of the others do seem poor, with 1-2 switch a distand 2nd and other games distand distant 3rd.

Certainly Zelda will keep on moving hardware, and like all software it will tail off.  Once Zelda sells through a couple of million and drops to say 50k/week we need other games to carry the Switch's sales.  Yes, MK8D will be the next to look forward to.
