Best Console Launch Lineups

Nintendo learned the hard way after the launch of the Wii U that you either need to have a gimmick that can sell like the Wii’s motion controls or you need a killer app game to drive up early console sales. The Switch went full throttle on both fronts.

Not only is it the first truly portable home console, but it also had that killer app: The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild which, like Super Mario World, Super Mario 64, and Wii Sports, drove early sales and allowed Nintendo to feel secure that they didn’t have another Wii U debacle on their hands.
