Gamestop wants a system that will let them keep selling a lot of physical stuff (accessories, games, screen protectors, amiibo) to do well so take it with a grain of salt.

There are a ton of compelling reasons to believe the Switch is doing well though.

1.) Selling well above MSRP on eBay
2.) It's hard to find
3.) Even accessories and games appear to be sold out in a lot of places

I'm becoming more and more convinced that the Switch will do well. For starters, the system does what it is billed to do. It plays the same games at home and on the go and that works pretty flawlessly. The more and more I look at the 2017 lineup, the stronger it looks.

They launched with what will probably get GotY by a ton of outlets and they're capping the year with an EAD Tokyo Mario game. Splatoon 2 and Mario Kart 8 will almost assuredly be really good. They're launching three new IPs. Their indie presentation was really strong. So on and so on.
