Switch's first big test will be how it sells in May/June/July once the launch boom dies down but before Splatoon 2 hits. That should give us some idea as to where its baseline will end up.

The first big test is April. Lots of people expected this console to do as bad as Wii U or only marginally better.

Since Switch looks to pass this first test with flying colors, the real test has already been postponed to a later date. Don't say that Wii U had a good launch as well, because it didn't have one.

You are better off by postponing the next big test to June right away, because Mario Kart 8 Deluxe in late April makes a pretty good case for strong enough momentum through May.

I'm pretty sure a lot more people on this board were/are expecting the Switch to outsell the 3DS.
