@aigis:
Quality was on the wiiu, believe it or not. Going by your logic the wiiu should not have been a failed product. You are basing your argument on an absolute; that Zelda guarantees a successful product. Hypothetically speaking, if skyward Sword was put in place of breath of the Wild as a launch Zelda game, people would not be going ape shit for the switch.
The wuu had a terrible launch for a lot of different reasons, the main one being a poor marketing campaign, and I say this as a wuu owner. People dont like the switch because BotW, they like it because the hardware is actually neat for once and they made a good push for not having droughts. If SS were on the switch people would go crazy for it, the critical reception for SS on media sources were very warm, 93 metacritic. Would it get panned by fans still? Probably, but it was not a risk, people would still buy it and a switch to play it. Zelda games sell, its not indicative of its quality, but there is no doubt you are shipping units
^ This , people still think Switch is selling because of 1-2 games? it really isn't ... sure that is a big part, but the biggest part, and the reason I like it so much, is that this is "Handheld gaming done right" for what I feel is the first time ever. It feels 1:1 with with a full console experience on the go. It merges to markets into 1.
I have pleanty of indie games on PC? I've bought a few of them again on Switch because they are the kind of games that suit a small screen when I'm relaxing. When I'm sitting at my PC however... I'd be playing something else.
Tons of Japanese support moving forward.
Console + 3DS library moving forward.
This was never just "Hur dur I NEED ZELDA!" I could Emulate it or buy it for my dust collecting Wii U if that mattered.
I broke down and purchase one just for Zelda so your wrong and I could care less about using it as a handheld.
