Dont agree with you on this.Leaving outside the fact that the Switch is a hybrid and not a handheld(and thus making the price for it good not overpriced as you suggest), Nintendo is, at the moment, on track to reach that goal and even surprass it.
The Switch probably have sold a bit more than 1 million this month, and due to the lasting effect of MK 8 Deluxe, it is poised to sell betwenn 1 and 2 millions next month.Not only that, they already have a killer game in the form of Splatoon 2 for Japan, and that game, alongside the other releases that the Switch will have, is garanteed to make it sell at least 3 millions in Japan.So those things alone should make Nintendo pass 5 millions easy, if they dont fuck anything up.
As of now, I really dont see an issue with the Switch.I mean, yes it would have been nice if it came with multimedia apps and had VC since the launch, but no major or serios issue.And as long as Nintendo dont get cocky and stop pushing itself to try to enhace their marketing, make better deals, and so on, this piece of hardware will be a success.
My (locked) thread about how difficulty should be a decision for the developers, not the gamers.
