I was skeptical about using it as a handheld before buying it, but now I love it. I just got back from the car dealership to get my car checked out. I had to 'wait' an hour, that was way too short, still plenty battery left! The guy at the service counter was trying to get one too 'for his kids'. Demand will only get stronger when more are seen outside.

This one more important thing that Wii U didnt had, point that consumers also marketing Switch when they are using it outside home. I saw few more similar anecdotal cases, for instance where people bring their Switch at work and people like it so much that they decided to buy it also.

the wii u thing might happen to the switch. sell 3 million units real quick...then struggle to hit 10 million and slowly hit 20 near the end.

good luck ninty!!!!!

Few huge differences, it's very obvious that Switch is much better product/appealing than Wii U was, its very obvious that Switch has huge system seller on launch when Wii U didnt had one, it's very obvious that marketing is miles better than Wii Us, and for now Switch seems much more popular than Wii U was at launch.

Switch will easily sell lot more than Wii U did.

More meaningless anecdotal evidence:

I bought a Switch at launch and I didn't even know that the Wii U existed until probably a few months after it's launch.

The marketing is leaps and bounds above what they did with the Wii U. The message about what this thing is and what it does is crystal clear.

havn't seen an ad yet on tv. just stuf on the net from youtube tech reveiwers which is not nintendo. 

 

and here.

 

so i think the marketing is on par with the wii U>

Marketing for Switch is totally different compared to Wii Us, Switch marketing itself is pretty strong (Super Bowl commercial) and massage is very clear, for Wii U you had lots a people who didnt know that Wii U exist at all while other thought that Wii U was some kind addon for Wii.
