Noo, I don't think this means doom and gloom for the system. It just means.... the Switch likely won't get those games, and that's okay. It doesn't need every game to be the most successful it could possibly be, but just a large varied library.

And I don't really expect these to release on Switch anyways. Ninten would have needed to be in close talks with these companies years ago, as well as provide support and dev kits to make these happen on the Switch. Neither of those likely happened, so these games not releasing on the Switch, no surprise there.

I don't know where your getting your numbers from, but according to VGChartz the Wii U didn't sell 3 million units until June 2013. (more than 7 months after launch)

Edit: I think you were thinking of shipped, not sold.

switch will have those nice handheld games to boost sales. wii u didnt have that luxury.

I like how you conveniently ignore the flame bait poll that's attached to the OP.

While I would say it is too early to tell. The numbers you are reporting are incorrect. If you look at Nintendo's IR data from Jan 2013, they indicated they shipped 3 million units but VGChartz data indicates that they sold around 2 million (if you remeber right after November, there was an issue, particularly in the UK where no one was buying remaining units). In addition, nearly all systems perform relatively strongly out the gate, and some drop off for a while after but are revived late (PS3 and 3DS come to mind). You are making a huge assumption based on a single system as well as the assumption that Nintendo will not respond with marketing tools like price cuts should the system start to linger (early price cuts within the first 6 months helped boost the sales of N64, GC, GBA, DS, and 3DS when they started to linger after their respective launches). 

I think people are not paying attention to the high price of Switch. And unlike Wii U, I believe Switch can get pricecuts to boost it's sales when needed. Personally I'm waiting for new colours, information about online  and compatibility with Wii Remote or Joycons wit D-pad - and games that utilise the controller camera as a pointer.

oh it probably is shipped. 

Except let's be honest here; millions of people bought the 3DS - and 2DS - becsuse its dirt cheap. It's always been easily possible to get a 2DS for £80 often with a game, and a 3DS for anywhere between £110 and £180 depending on the version and bundle, but the Switch? It's £280, not including a game. It's way beyond "it'll keep the kids quiet" or "I'll just grab of those for Christmas!" territory. So no, while it may be portable, it's not even close to the same situation as a 3DS; It's over double the price, isn't as easily portable as a 3DS, has fewer games than the 3DS - so on the portable front Nintendo are actually competing with themselves and losing as the 3DS will continue to sell more, and on the console side, it's the most expensive of the three, the least powerful with the fewest games. It's a great concept, but it really is a hard sell when you go beyond new gadget launch hype. 

The PS4 is already an established success, though. It doesn't really have to prove itself. The Switch is much more of an unknown.

Hey switch is getting fifa and nba2k so don't sleep on it
