Failed Switch predictions of analysts

[superchunk]

Immediately after the January reveal it was absolutely valid to have negative reactions.

I was very hyped and excited after the October teaser. My son and I had plans to immediately get pre-orders in place when available.

Then January happened and we both were shocked at price, online choices and the initial thought of no games beyond Zelda were worth anything. We decided to not pre-order.

Then as the initial reaction smoothed over and even more info came out about 2017 games, full functionality, etc.. the realization that I set myself up for disappointment on the price and it actually had a solid 2017 line-up caused us to get pre-orders into our local Walmart which thankfully had opened up in-store options.

So, its not so bad that January predictions where so off from what is now reality. However, anything being predicted in since April that didn't have Switch as a resounding success was just foolish. Even though I am still disappointed with their solution for online, everything else is awesome IMO and will easily make-up for that issue. 10MM plus is a done deal this year. I'm even willing to say that Switch sells more by the end of 2017 than WiiU LTD. I have faith Nintendo will produce enough and people will continue to gobble it up.
