| niceguygameplayer said: It has been over 2 months since switch released. It is still going strong. I didn't expect this. I figured that the Nintendo fanatics would have gotten their systems and sales would be slowing down. It actually seems to have increased! This doesn't make much sense to me since it is underpowered, very expensive--not counting the outrageous scalper prices of $410+ on Amazon--, and there are few games. I have only one explanation other than just misreading the whole thing. The explanation is this: artificial demand. Nintendo was said to have done this with Wii. After 2 months it seems Nintendo (a multi billion dollar company) would have the Switch production problem fixed. They should be widely available. Maybe they saw that this worked for Wii and they are using this strategy to create artificial demand for Switch. Many ppl want what they can't have. Could this be the answer?

It depends on how you see it considering the power. For a console, yes, it's underpowered, but for a handheld, it's very powerful, even making the vita look like a little toy in comparision. It's also still stronger than the Wii U was.
It got 2 Killer apps already with BotW and MK8DX and some more serious marketing, which keeps the interest into the console high
And can we finally get over the artificial demand idiocy? If I can't get a console, I'm rather inclined to buy another one than to wait for too long. This how I ended up with a Sega Master System instead of an NES and a Gamecube instead of a PS2 because I couldn't find the latter ones at the times
