Switch Is Nintendo's 'Fastest Selling' System in History

I'd be happy with Mario, Zelda, METROID (cough cough) and a few other Nintendo big-hitters, honestly. For me, the Switch is just the "Nintendo tax" in order to get to the games.

Sony has a lot of developers making exclusives, which is why I own a PS4. But virtually anything else is cross-platform already, except for the MS exclusives. And chances are, I'd get a 3rd-party cross-platform for the PS4 Pro before the Switch.

I don't know how Nintendo can dig themselves out of this predicament.

I'd be happy with that too, but look at the Wii U. It never got Metroid, and in a sense it didn't even get Zelda. Both of its Mario games were reuses of previous game engines. I think it's pretty clear that Nintendo can't deliver as many big games per generation as we'd all like.
