That's not at all what it was like in the lead up to the Switch 1's launch; there was a ton of controversy online about it being the same price as a PS4 while being much less powerful, the games being $60 when people were used to paying $40 for "handheld" games, 1-2 Switch being "$60 shovelware" that should have been included for free, it's only big launch title being a Wii U game, very little third party support it, etc. Then, when it came out, it turned out that none of that was a deal breaker for the general audience and the system sold like crack. |
Just to substantiate your point, one could look at the comments on this article. Most are complaining about the price of the console and accessories, the lack of games, and predicting it would sell less than Wii U + 3DS.

Heck the article's conclusion/prediction is 25 million sales.
