I can't believe I went through 49 pages.

All I have to say is most of the pessimistics don't include the fact that the Switch's audience isn't the same as previous Nintendo consoles or handhelds. The audience is a mixbag of classic Nintendo audience (kids, families) and a new audience that no one could expected (middle-aged people, around 25-50 YO, who don't play games anymore, or only on PC). That's the new audience which replaced the casual audience of the Wii. And this audience is more severe when it comes to games where quality is more important than quantity. Could you see Skyrim or Warframe, or any great indie titles sell more than 1 million on the Wii/3DS ? I don't think so. But those games are the ones which make the Switch appealing.
