It's already been said here a few times. Monster Hunter and for sure the next Pokemon instalment will go a long way in pushing the system to being a major success.
It is an awesome system. The UI is very sleek and clean and feels grown up if that makes sense. I like playing it on the TV but the handheld mode is astonishing. Couldn't be happier with my Day 1 purchase.
Pretty much any collection from the retro days will be an instant buy for me. If it's Mega Man X it has to include all of them up to X8 or whatever it stopped at.
Zelda and Bomberman day 1. I have Isaac preordered too, I want that copy with manual. Who am I kidding, I'll get pretty much all of these. We are in the single digits for the countdown now boys and girls!
Keep in mind he knows what the plans are in terms of software. He would know if an exclusive Pokemon, Monster hunter, metroid, fZero etc are planned or in the works. Yes 100 mil is a lofty goal but he may be basing it on what WE don't know yet
@SanderEvers that's a shame no physical version for Switch. I will still download it though.
@dres Pro Controllers just came available this week but thankfully I was able to get one on preorder. Agree that some games are just better with a D Pad
Was really hoping for a physical release like so many others. I will still be getting this bit it has slipped a bit on my wish list. Still top 10 though.
The more people are talking about this system (positive OR negative) the more excited I get. I mainly play my 3DS instead of my wii u, ps4 or xb1 and if I can get new games similar to what's on 3DS, plus AAA Nintendo titles, plus a better portable VC then I can just see myself only using my switch. Can't wait.
Every system has "fan boys". People can be excited for anything if it simply excites them. Nothing wrong with that.
The best part about Nintendo is that they don't need to be another PS or MS.
They may not get the biggest AAA western titles but that's not important. They made a decision as a company to go after the casual gamer. That is their decision.
COD, BF, Titanfall etc will not sell Switches. Mario's, Zelda's, Pokemons will. Again that is Nintendos plan. We can like it or not, that is what we get.
Day 1 for me with Zelda and Bomberman. I'll for sure pick up Mario Kart in April and maybe Lego City too. Not to mention I Am Setsuna and any other RPGs. Home console quality games off the TV? That is great! And yes I have every other system out and Switch will get all my attention.
I think 40 mil (10 mil per year) is definitely possible by year end 2020. It will all be about the games. The right games and bundles will move the console. Especially if development for the 3DS slows down. The concept is incredible.

Secret of Mana is one of my favourite games ever and the soundtrack is a big part of that. This is pretty cool.
Side note, we really need some type of Mana collection for the Switch!

Re: Eiji Aonuma Teases Alternate Ending for The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild
Both endings will be canon they will probably just include some extra scenes.
Re: Eiji Aonuma Teases Alternate Ending for The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild
Can't wait, first play-through blind, second play-through with a guide for the alternate ending. Is replayability a word?
