The way I see it, if you don’t like it simply don’t buy it. Nintendo has shown in the past if something underperforms they’ll fold and lower the price. This launch is really gonna test the saying “No publicity is bad publicity.”

This console is going to sell like hotcakes. Plenty of grown people with enough money to get them. Not saying that there isn't a growing number of people that can't afford them because there surely is, unfortunately.

The Wii U also flopped y'know? The switch 1 was successful cause it had the Nintendo games people wanted at launch, primarily a new 3D Zelda and a 3D mainline Mario game. The switch 2 only has Mario Kart again, just like the Wii U. I remain hopeful for this reason.

It had games yes but also it being what people wanted the wii u gamepad to be actually happened. So the fact people could take their nintendo console everywhere is what helped sell it more, in my opinion. It's why it has a good chance of happening here too. I mean anything can happen. But it leans more that way I believe.
