I don't think it's true either - the Wii U was definitely a flop but the Switch is doing well. Zelda works incredibly on a Cartridge, it isn't cut down at all and starts up immediately where you left off. Mario Kart looks better than the Wii U version, and the new Mario Odyssey Game is only a month away. And there's Minecraft too, I've got 3 teenage kids, the £15 I spent on it has paid for itself 10 times over. It isn't cheap, but the new iphone is apparently going to cost a grand!
I was slow to be convinced after feeling let down with the Wii U console.
But now I own the Switch I can only see it getting more and more popular. They are still not simple to buy due to selling out as soon as they are in stores so thats a good indicator.
It outsold the PS4 and XBOX ONE in the USA this summer too.
Anyway its all about the games on any machine right?
So I must throw my hat in the ring and say I am addicted to Mario + Rabbids, truly the sleeper hit of the year.
Its like XCOM with Mario, Luigi and Peach, very challenging too to get perfect on each level.
Got that Mario Cuteness/Comedy going on too.
Enjoyed it more than Zelda and Mario Kart so far.
Mario Odyssey will surely win Xmas in alot of households I reckon.

I dunno lads at work love theirs
Still play After 4 months
Ton of games coming out aswell that's key
I agree, Since launch I love my Switch, and everyone in work love theirs too. We have a lot of lunch time races on Mario Kart and everyone loves to idea of playing games like Skyrim, Stardew Valley and Mario on the go.
When the virtual console launches this system is really going to kick into gear.

Fifa 18 will be huge for this console
Has FUT so is full Fifa
Can play on the go.. that's above your average console for Fifa addicts. I got a pro controller for at home.. but apparently you can use the little controllers so 2 player on break at work.. that's going to be epic
My mate's got it, plays really well apparently. But has been slated in 2-player Joycon mode.
Worth buying a pro controller perhaps?
got it mate.. havent tried 2 player joy con mode but i play single player all the time
I use either the console itself with the controller attached
or I use my pro controller (on the subject of them.. just buy it! its like an xbox controller)
graphics when its on TV for me looks as good as my PS4 did.. now I dont have the ps4 anymore so I cant compare side by side but a blind test looks the same and for me thats all that matters
with the controller its just like playing the same as before
Super Mario Odyssey is (predictably) magnificent! Haven't played it a huge amount as the Switch was passed from son to son all weekend without me getting a look in, but it's great fun, and incredibly imaginative
