It's well known that lines were crazy big for the Switch when they were starting the test fires.  It's clear to everyone splatoon was the main seller from launch in Japan. 

And yes it would sell the same and I'll tell you why.  Switch as it is now (hybrid)  has sold X amount.  But it's deeply supply constrained and could probably have sold double by now.  Therefore the number a $300 handheld only Switch would have to sell is actually a lot lower than the hybrids true potential.  While it would most certainly be selling the same numbers I'm not demand or the waiting list would be as big.

Its well know that Switch has outsold completely from launch and months before Splatoon 2 and that we had lines even before Splatoon 2 test fires. Splatoon2 definatly is strongest Switch system seller game in Japan, but its not only one.

That's totally different thing, it's hard to tell just how much Switch would sell without stock problems or how much smaller demand would be for Switch if it's just a $300 handheld.

 

I can easily make this claim because weekly sales clearly show the vast majority of people buying switches are for Splatoon.  There are not lines of people queuing up for Zelda or Mario Kart.  They are for Splatoon2primarily.

 

But even Still If Switch Was A $300 Handheld Only It Would Still Have Mario Kart Deluxe , Zelda , Minecraft Etc 

 

So I Can Say Without Any Doubt The Current Switch Sales Which Are Far Below It's Potential Would Be Met By The Switch If It Didn't Have A Big Screen Mode . 

 

A Blind Man Could See This . 

 

BTW Not Sure Why All Words Are Caps . Phone Gone Loco .
