Can one game still make a difference?

Well I'd still strongly say that Pokémon was one of the biggest factors that allowed the 3DS to be quite successful in the time of smartphones. 

And Switch compared to Wii U launch month sales showed the exact opposite. Essepically when you look at the fact the Wii U launch library was actually one of biggest for any console.

Here are the first week sales for Switch, Wii U, Xbox One and PS4:

	Switch	Wii U	Xbox One	PS4
1	1,400,822	472,099	1,104,585	1,071,184

Can you spot the difference?

You're not wrong, to be fair though the PS4 was supply constrained and only launched in the U.S. I believe at the time of 1 million sales.

Well my point wasn't that Switch is above everything else, that turned around quite quickly with PS4, just that Wii U's numbers are extremely lacking compared to everything else. So clearly Nintendo doesn't have this magnitude of fans who will go out and buy whatever product has the Nintendo brand on regardless of how good it actually is or what games are on it.

Switch was a product deserving of high sales and it got high sales, Wii U was a product deserving of low sales and it got low sales.
