Nintendo Switch

Ehh, poor launches are the norm, really. No one seems to remembers that the Playstation and the DS had terrible launch titles, and they both sold over a hundred million units. Or that the N64 had three launch titles! The PS4 launch was heavily padded with last-gen games and multi-platform games. When you take out titles that were already on other platforms, the PS4 had Killzone Shadow Fall (a disappointing title), Knack (platforming beat-em-up, niche), The Playroom (VERY niche), and Resogun (joint release with the PS3 edition coming the week after the PS4). That's it! The majority of its launch lineup are games that were already released on the PS3.

The Switch launch really isn't that bad in perspective. That, and I really think they moved the switch launch up a couple of weeks. If you consider the entire month of March as its launch, then the launch looks far better.

Either way, as with ALL console launches, it's best to do a wait and see approach, unless there is a launch game you really want. I really want to play zelda and snipperclips on the switch, so I preordered. Others want to wait until summer, when zelda, mario kart, and splatoon are available as a really strong core set of games. Both perspectives are great!

Also, the Xbox One, thanks to its TV and Kinect focus, had one of the worst launches in console history. The games that it came out with were kiiiind of irrelevant when they were so overshadowed by the horrific targeting of the console! It's a really poor comparison point.
