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>

I know I'm replying to this super late, but I have to say there is NO way you can compare Nintendo's marketing approach with the Switch to how they handled the Wii U.  I remember not seeing any ads for Wii U until like a year into it's release, and even then only on like the Cartoon Network where kids would see it more than adults.  Compare that to the Switch where Nintendo paid for an ad to run during the Super Bowl for the first time in the company's history.  Super Bowl LI was watched by 111+ million people.  Ads are currently run frequently on TV, and as someone else mentioned even in movie theaters.  I just saw a Switch advertisement play at my local theater before Kong: Skull Island this week in fact.  Nintendo is making a tremendous effort to market the Switch.  It is most certainly not "on par" with Wii U.
