Nintendo is doing everything right at the moment, and they have serious buzz. The tendency is to always look at home consoles for comparison, but it's easy to forget that Switch is a mobile device as well. I'm noticing strong interest from young people looking to enjoy superior gaming experiences to what the now-commonplace tablets offer. Switch is doing well compared to Wii U, but also is not having the struggles of 3DS. It's looking like a great platform.

On the content side, the games are vastly better than what they've offered for a few years. In particular, they are giving fans what they want. Zelda was basically a fan-boys wet dream, Mario is a sequel to 64, Xeno 2 is a sequel to Xeno 1, and there is both a 2D and 3D Metroid en route. It's like they took one of those "leaked" e3 lineups and said, "Let's do that!"
