Switch Is Succeeding Without Blue Ocean Casuals, Nintendo Should Not Forget This.

See my previous reply... for the legs of the current games launching, saying PS4/X1 have much more userbase is irrelevant. But also there is little value to say the Switch games weren't on TOP 20, the month may have had a lot of solid releases. The legs of those games (which I agree will probably be very good).

On LoZ:BotW is one of the few situations were we surely would need to consider the lack of available userbase to sell through because the attach rate is immense. But legwise it's possible it won't have much unless it breaks by a lot all of Zelda previous installments for total sale, because it is already quite high.

Anyway, from what we know from at least Wii and WiiU, Nintendo flagships have legs (although the guy didn't say the games of Switch won't have legs, just that it will be smaller than Wii) but we really can't be sure how much better or worse its leg will be compared to the flagships in Wii.

Yes but he moved the goalposts. Originally he was comparing like to like, then he began yammering on about MP8 and NSMBW, which have nothing comparable on Switch atm. It seems to be a particular favourite of his, either moving the goalposts, or cherry picking the exact piece of tiny data to back up his claim, however irrelevant it is.

Well, comparison can be complicated... but yep, writing off the legs of a game because it released couple months ago and isn't charting on October-Dec rank doesn't make much sense...

Still I agree that will be hard for Switch games to achieve the legs of Wii games (some charting high after a year of release) and also selling on the levels of MK on Wii, that was monster level.
