Too early to say, but it's definitely not dead in the water like some idiots would want you to think.

I want it to do well but devs will probably abandon Nintendo for their infinitesimal specs again.

its been out for less than 2 months 

no way to tell how it'll do in the long run, but I don't think it's gonna be a smash hit like the Wii and IMO the roster isn't very promising so far

Even if they didn't flop on the console itself, they'll most likely end up flopping on actually getting games for it like they did with Wii and Wii U.

Not at all, it's initial high sales are from BoTW being chained to it and it looks like it's in high demand from it being sold out everywhere due to Nintendo deliberately understocking retailers to falsify a sense of high demand

Soon sales will dry up once 3rd party support dries up and people understand this is the Wii U 2.0

if they can keep 3rd party support they'll be okay. they seem to be more interested than they ever were for the u, so that's a good sign.

Get ready to close your account you f***ing troll.
It will live off ports and 1st party games for 2-3 years then die, is my prediction

The Switch is great. Probably the best first two months I've had with a console in a long time.

This. Way too early to call it a success or say it can't flop, but things are looking good right about now.

I mean come on dude, I'd love a good reason to buy a Switch and am dying to play Zelda but let's not pretend 1-2 Switch, Scissorclips, another port of Shovel Knight, TETRIS, and Bomberman are killer IPs or even worthy of mentioning.

Hardware works as intended and the upcoming lineup looks promising.

But don't be fooled; all the best games on it rn can be found on the Wii U or other consoles for years, the accessories are overpriced, and paid online is a goddamn joke in its current state.

The Switch would probably sell well if Nintendo would actually produce enough to keep up with demand, I don't know who became in charge of that, but they've been doing a s***ty job since the wii u came out.

But in this situation it's fair since basically no one owned a Wii u, and lots have/want a switch. Better that more actually get to play a lot of these games.

Dude. I have one since launch and still get notifications from nowinstock almost daily about restock online. They're coming out multiples times a week but are flying off shelves. They're selling like hotcakes.

That's cool, but the double standard is fairly evident to me regardless. There were a few reasons worth picking up a Wii U for cheap, so I did.

    I'm kinda referring to all the hypocrites who were restless for MK8 and Shovel Knight and all those other games that have been out for years

    Everything it has so far can be played on another console. Except for 1-2 Switch I suppose. 

    Of course, if you don't own a Wii U, you should obviously get a Switch if you want to play Zelda and Mario Kart. But at this moment, I don't see any reason to own a Switch if you have a Wii U.

    It seems to do well, BUT i'm bit cautious about all the bad stuff we have heard hardware wise. Apparently, there are few issues. Dock scratching, joycon issues, Bending probably due to heat, overheating etc. It feels like there's s*** ton of issues, or its the vocal minority who knows, but i'm at least going to wait for a while.

    Seems like Nintendo banked big on Zelda and it seems like it was good move. They made apparently one of the top games of all time, put it at launch to create high demand and make the install base bigger faster, which could also encourage other companies to put games for it.
    What's cooler than werewolf? Wereman!
    One of the main reasons I want to get rid of mine so early despite Zelda being amazing is I can easily see them releasing a XL version with a actual decent sized screen in a year, at most 2.

    This is great for a console's first year.

    Like half of your list has no confirmed release date in 2017. And again, ports of games that came out years ago. Getting a Switch for 300 when you can pick up a XB1/PS4 bundle for 250 with a far deeper library(obviously) makes no sense.

    Yes it is. Doesn't change the fact that ps3 and ps4 took a while to get off the ground, software wise. Ps4 sold like hot cakes despite essentially having no games for a year, and not being a true software juggernaut until 2016/this year.

    Yeah and the launch year won't be s*** if they can get xenoblade 2 and Mario Odysseus out and they're both good. But I expect delays on a number of games expected this year. Unless Nintendo is serious about this s*** like they seem to be implying. But that may be wishful thinking. Not hating, I love my switch. I have botw, wonder boy, Mr. Shifty, I am setsuna, Lego city undercover, and Mario kart 8.

    It's not going to be immediately apparent since Nintendo likes to blockade itself but clearly the hype is because they are denying it to their own small fanboys and not because it is literally a pop culture sensation, like the Wii was. Notice the complete absence of articles about "where is the switch" among normal people
