Yeahhh ibthink its the opposite. Switch games are having crazy legs. Look at splat2 and especially botw/mk8d

 

I look at the games Splatoon in Japan, Mario Kart and Zelda in the US, and I can see that we've got first-week attach rates of 56%, 40%, and pretty much 100%, respectively. That's what I would call front-loaded. Doesn't mean that they won't sell in the long run, but Nintendo is generating hype with effective advertisement (and just generally, better circulation of information, in the modern era) that creates demand for their games on launch to a scale that hasn't been seen before. 

Using attach rates have nothing to do with legs my friend. Zelda could on and sell 30mil and switch 100mil and your logic says it was front loaded because it was 100% at one time of its life.
