That's what exactly what a lot of people's first reaction's were when Nintendo first revealed 1-2-Switch and Arms, yet look how that turned out. I think this will do okay overall even if it's mostly saved by Japan. I don't think it really needs to do anything crazy anyway.

How did they turn out? They're the worst-selling 1st party titles on the Switch and by a good margin too. Sure they still sold pretty well, but a lot of it I think was down to the launch window hype and stuff. Also, they weren't nearly as confusing as this, at least not to me - at least Arms wasn't confusing at all, it was a fighting game using the Joycon's motion controls for punching, in fact that's as simple and straightforward as it gets.

1-2-Switch was definitely more confusing and I've no idea how it sold as well as it has, but it was at least cheaper than your average game (not more expensive), and didn't involve you getting loads of cardboard along with it. Also, launch hype.

When they are the worst selling 1st party titles on the system and they both sold over 1 million and counting in less than the systems 1st year, they are only giving more faith in this.

It only needs to do like 500k at most lifetime to be worth while anyway.
