First, it was always going to sell out. That is not an issue. The success of the Switch 1, ps5, and other recent releases showed you that. FOMO is a real thing, especially now with the price of consoles increasing as time goes on, instead of dropping.
I got one. So, it does remind me of Wii U launch. But it isn't because of hardware, it is the software launch lineup. I wish it had a few more big titles for first or third party.
The launch window is missing something. I can't figure out what it is, but it feels like it is missing something. I just can't put my finger on it.
==============================================================================
Would the launch feel different if it was something like:
Launch: MK: World, BoTW, and say Mario Golf Deluxe with online tournaments? (Another game with online play, highly replayable).
Yakuza, SF6, CyberPunk, Civ, Sonic
July: DK, Mario Party
FFVIIR
August: Kirby, Drag x Drive
Maybe: Elden Ring, Madden, WWE 2k,
September: Metroid, ToTK, NBA 2k, and EA FC?
Maybe something like this would make it feel more robust? Not sure.
Should BoTW and ToTK been separated by a few months, and had something else substituted instead?
Edit: Having BoTW, and ToTK separated to provide more variety. This would have been better, imo.
