I understand that Switch is doing very well and that some indie games have done better on it than all others platforms combined. The 2 indie games that have done so well on Switch are Nintendo-like games. One like 2d Mario and the other like Zelda. However, a game like Doom is likely doomed on Switch. I think Skyrim will underperform too. These are not kiddie type games. I like Sonic, so don't think I don't like any kiddie games or that I'm insulting anyone.
My point is that adult oriented games will almost certainly fail to succeed on Switch. Of course I could be wrong. We will see. I want to see how Dragon Ball Xenoverse sells on Switch worldwide. I know it has done well in Japan. I will watch these games and more. I predict failing sales.
If Switch does actually succeed in 3rd party games like these, it could be as big a hit or bigger than PS4 in America. I just dont see it happening long term, though. It already will beat PS4 in Japan as long as Nintendo, and 3rd parties, can keep rolling out a lot of games. Europe is PS4 country, though. Regardless of which one wins worldwide, it will be an exciting sales war!

Someone who claims that Zelda, Sonic, Mario and other games that tend to be successful on Nintendo platforms as being "kiddie" while simultaneously referring to Dragon Ball Z as being for adults has shot themselves in the foot. I remember, as a child, Dragon Ball Z was being advertised for children and aired on a kids TV network. This is not to say that Dragon Ball Z is only for kids, I would argue that it reaches a large demographic, just like Nintendo titles.
Just because something isn't brutally violent, does not mean it is just for children or that it is "kiddie". This would be like saying the Marvel movies are "kiddie" because they do not have over the top violence. Such a view is very simple-minded.
That being said, I am not surprised. I mean - you referred to Europe as a country. That would be enough to make me want hide from the Internet and lay low for a few days.
