I am not a zelda fan but thought Zelda looked amazing and even emotionally touched me...

On the other hand I believe their is a big group of people who were on the fence and had not decided if they get a Switch or not.... this conference steered the majority 'to hell no, not getting the switch' pity..

And how many of those games can make you buy a console? Yes, none.

In this case you already have 3 or 4 of those in the first 9 months, quantity for the sake of quantity is not the important thing here and we dont even know all the launch releases, sure there is a bunch of indie games coming too Switch on the first months like happened with the WiiU too, but they wont make a difference.

Splatoon 2, Xenoblade Chronicles 2, Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, Sonic Mania and Super Bomberman R are not nothing.

With first party track records of releasing on time I wouldn't consider anything as a confirmed release date until they actually announce a firm release date and even then theres still a good chance it will be deplayed. Mario looks pretty complete so im sure that will release this year, even though xenoblade 2 devs said release for 2017 i still find that hard to believe and the trailer was pretty unstable.

Anyway back to your point I know you only need 1 or 2 good titles to sell a console but what incentives does a WiiU owner have to upgrade? I feel it would be better to wait until more titles to be announced and get some firm dates before investing. With Mario kart and Zelda being available on the WiiU the wait for the next flood of games is a long one, perhaps if it doesn't pay off we could see another 3DS situation where Nintendo drop the price not long after launch which is good for the consumer and worked wonders for 3DS sales.

I wasn't talking about Xenoblade 2 though, that will not be released until 2018 here for sure.

Well as a WiiU owner by the time December comes I will have the option to purchase Splatoon 2, Mario Oddissey, Skyrim on the go, ARMS, Dragon Quest Heroes I&II, Rime and maybe even DQXI if we are lucky, I may also feel interested on MK8 deluxe since it will come with a bunch of new stuff and Mario Kart on the go is pretty cool, having all those options and knowing that next year games like Xenoblade 2, Shin Megami Tensei V, Pokemon Stars, the new Square Enix rpg, Fire Emblem Warriors and probably the New Retro Game (that will probably be presented on the E3) and maybe even Pikmin 4 are coming, yeah I can feel already pretty safe buying it.

The 3DS situation could totally happen, I think they want to follow that same strategy if things go wrong to have it cheaper on holydays and save the ship before is too late, but I also think they won't need to do it.

Of those titles I can see Splatoon 2 and Mario being big hits (dragon quest 11 aswell if its out this year). Those other titles you mentioned are also good editions if you are a single console owner so I can see your point.  Since I didn't originally mention if you are a multi console owner we wont go into that since i guess that's where most my issues lie.

Mario Kart deluxe and BoTW will definitely be a huge hit, since nobody bought a WiiU it doesnt matter if they are also there and I suspect many WiiU owners will buy the Switch version of BoTW instead, just as happened with TP in GC. Is not a matter of being a one console owner,  I can get Skyim without a Switch (in fact I have it) but I cannot get a portable Skyrim anywhere else, so thats very appealing, same with DQXI except in that case the game is not releasing on PC so Switch would be my only option anyways.

Bomberman? When was that announced? :O

And c. it's made by Konami! Thought they quit video games lel. This is definitely a big deal, well atleast to me, loved Bomberman as a kid. Will definitely look into this game, hopefully it'll be on the treehouse stream!

Horrible launch line-up... Only true launch game available for Switch is Zelda...
