No, a lot of people thought it would flop.  You just weren't paying attention. 

And again with this incredibly persisten myth that fewer games=more sales regardless of quality.  This. is. demonstrably. false. 

It's not false. It's simple mathematics. You're got 1 million early Switch adopters with not much of a choice.

Yes, because Switch owners HAVE to buy games regularly or their brain explodes.  These are games not cocaine.  If owners think the game is bad it won't sell. Lack of competition means its easier to get attention.  It does NOT mean it is easier to get positive attention.  Wonderful 101 launched on an even more starved Wii U and sold like ass.  And the Dreamcast and Saturn were home to many games that had little competition that sold terribly.  Just a lack of competition doesn't mean sales will go up.

This isn't cocaine, where taking out the premium dealers results in people buying the shady crap cut with contaminants in some rat hole.  These are video games.
