I don't see it. They created a quality console and they got great first party titles but what is the catch that the casual audience will flock to? It's a weak home console but a strong handheld, so will it compete with the 3DS, which I believe Nintendo said they were still gonna support AND that the Switch was not a successor to the 3DS (could have misread, please correct me if so)
Like ksv mentioned, BotW is a fantastic game...for Nintendo gamers. It will not make non-Nintendo casual gamers into believer and the party factor of the Switch, while really portable and joycons instantly give you two player action, feels less impactful compared to the Wii.
I could be wrong though, there could be something that I don't appreciate but that the casual market will. I don't see it beating the Wii but I think it can perform significantly stronger than the Wii U, I'm talking 60mil ~ 80 mil LT sales. However, Sony and MS are not gonna lay over and die. Sony is already killing it as the market leader and MS is gearing up for a "counter attack" after a very slow 5-6 months. You could have a PS4/Xb1 + Switch combo but I don't think the casual market gets more than one console at a time, that's more of a hardcore gamer thing and hardcore gamers could not save the Wii U.
