Nintendo starts moving to a Wii-like “non-gamer” strategy for the Switch

Strategy doesn't work when things like 1,2 Switch and Labo are not really moving big numbers of hardware.

Selling on par with Nintendo Land or Wii Party U on Wii U doesn't get the job done, so long as games like 1,2 Switch and Labo are selling only a tiny fraction of what their 2005-2009 (pre-smart app years) hits did the strategy doesn't work.

Nintendo's "expanded audience" software has typically done modest numbers as launch. But they proved to be consistent sellers, getting their crazy numbers from the legs that they have. Brain Age for example, debuted at around 44k in Japan, yet that game is considered a big hit.
