@rodoxthedark: yeah that's another way to look at it. Switch could've waited on another Zelda imo.
The problem with Nintendo is that most people that play games would have a ps or xbox which they'll buy 3rd party games for. Even if switch gets multiplatform games, I'll buy the superior console's version.
People buy Nintendo consoles for Nintendo games at this point so their launch games should include a few of their IPs (Zelda, Mario, metroid, splatoon) to really get the sales going.
So yeah, switch wasn't going to sell much if it came out without this Zelda
I don't have a switch so perhaps others can confirm, my thoughts are that the joy cons have that rubbery coating on them to help with griping onto them.
I've never seen anything with that coating that didn't eventually lift off so it may become a heavily reported issue.
