| Kanemaru said: It got good sells cuz of Zelda (which was as always totally overrated). It did a good launch just cuz of that so the sites didn't dare speaking badly about the console even tho it's even worse than the WiiU. There was very good games on WiiU too but a bad launch is fatal. |
Translation:
"I don't like Zelda BOTW so the game is bad"
"I don't like the Switch so the whole World is wrong"
Oh and the Switch is more powerful than the Wii U (compare the games).
If I had to give 3 reasons (not in any particular order):
1) A very good balance between a home console and a handheld in many aspects.
2) The games. When you have games beloved by casual gamers AND hardcore gamers, solo AND multiplayer, local AND on the Internet: this is a good sign.
3) The timing. March 2017, we were in the middle of the current generation. So there wasn't any direct competition for many people.
