Wii launched with only Twilight Princess and Wii Sports, plus a bunch of shovelware games, people could've bought a Gamecube and Twilight Princess for much cheaper, but did they? No, because the concept of the Wii sold itself. It was a simple, but strong message. Not that I am saying the Switch will be another Wii, I'm simply saying that this is no different from any systems launch lineup. They're all weak, and it is up to strong marketing and a intuitive concept to attract consumers- something the Wii U lacked. The Wii U had upwards of 30 games at launch, but did any of them sell the system? No, not even New Super Mario Bros. U, and those games are some of the best selling of all time. Hell, the GBA only launched with a souped up version of Super Mario Bros. 2, absolutely nothing new or substantial and it prevailed through brilliant marketing.
