The console with the worst launch line up ever sells the best? What am I missing?

Very interesting and appealing hardware, one of best game ever like launch title, great brending and marketing. You know, all things that Wii U didnt had.

The potential. You are probably clouded by the fact that you think most people just care about whats in front of them, when the truth is that people are loyal to products that provide them with the certainty of fun for many years ahead.

What potential? The overall 2017 line up is embarassing. Every Switch owner will end up with the same few games (full-priced port MK8, Splatoon 2, Mario Odyssey). There's no variety for different types of gamers. I'm a big Nintendo fan myself but I see absolutely no reason to buy it now. 

I think the hype around the concept of Switch is what made many people buy the system so early without looking at the software line-up. They are destined to be disappointed when they realize the droughts take months with a few indie-games in between which are cheaper and with better performance on the other home-consoles.  Just that a lot of Switch owners will have the same games by the end of 2017 because there's no variety and this will decrease sales dramatically when the hybrid-console hype is gone. There will be massive droughts. 

I expect (much) more from a console, even in its first year. Wii U had a much better first year line up but somehow managed to sell way less. 

So Zelda BotW, MK8 Deluxe, ARMS, Splatoon2, Xenoblade 2, Mario Odyssey...and definitely 1-2 games that are not still announced, plus games like Skyrim, Fifa, NBA...in 9 months of console on market are embarrassing and they are there is not variety!? You dont know what are you talking.

Evre platform has 1st year slower, saying that, Switch will have one stronger game on average every 1.5 month with some 3rd party or Indie games between in 2017.

Are you serious!? Just Zelda BotW blows away complete 1st year Wii U, and beside Zelda BotW Switch will have MK8D, Splatoon 2 and Mario Odyssey in its 9 months on market, basically some of biggest Nintendo IPs in 9 months of console on market. Even just trying comparing that with Wii U 1st year games is ludicrous.
