I think it's the fact that they finally nailed the marketing. I originally wasn't gonna get Switch day one, then went to one of the preview events a month before launch and was just blown away. All of a sudden, full console games could be taken anywhere with little compromise. Everything just works as advertised, which is rarer than you'd think. The impact was huge and then from there, games just kept coming out. Every week, something or 5 came out on eshop, every month to 6 weeks, a new major title came out. It was genius and it got people's attention! It took several years for PS4 to establish itself like this!
The Switch actually got me into the Zelda franchise, I didn't really play them before but because that was the game to have last March, I gave it a chance and it was the perfect launch title.
Even with the mega successful launch, I didn't expect nearly 15 million in just 10 months. I actually thought it was a long shot that it could beat Wii U that quickly but it caught on and has been one of the most fun systems i've ever had!
I can't wait to see whats in store for Switch this year..
