So far the Switch is doing okay. http://finance.yahoo.com/news/nintendo-switch-sales-225738169.html
Best sales in Nintendo history, blah, blah, blah...
...but their achilles heel ever since the end of the Gamecube has been their lack of 3rd party support and subsequent shortage of games.
Resident Evil 4 on the Gamecube was AMAZING. So was Madden. In fact there were tons of great games for the Cube.
The Wii? Not so much. Wii-U? Even less.
And now... with the Switch... in Germany at least: They have two games.
One of them is sold out everywhere you go and the other is 1 2 Switch.
That's absolutely terrible... but from HERE it gets worse! All the big AAA titles for PS4 and Xbox One will be coming in the next few months. A new Mass Effect, a new Halo, an entire Onslaught of games are coming (not to mention both Sony and Microsoft are also giving away a ton of games for free every month...) and there's no way Nintendo will be able to keep up.
They HOPE to put out three games this year.... including Zelda. The rest will be wii-like filler.
So let me be the first to say: This is going to be BAD.
