So what were they all buying the console for? Sure as hell wasn't COD or other Nintendo games for that matter.
Look at WiiU console sales. It had all the big Nintendo franchises and how did that sell without a killer game to sell the concept of the console?
At least 90%-95% of people bought the Wii for Wii Sports. The console was WAY under powered compared to a XBOX 360 / PS3, the name was laughable by gaming stores but the killer game it had in Wii Sports to demonstrate motion controls is what sold the console.
Other consoles don't really have a killer app because they got ever major 3rd party publisher supporting them so they have multiple AAA games that enough people want to buy, hence the good console sales.
Now looking at Switch, why is that doing so well? Well because it is a hybrid, there is no single killer game that makes you want to buy it other than I can connect to TV and play or I can play on the go when I'm on my way to work on public transport etc.
