I think the Switch will be different with 3rd parties this time. Typically a Nintendo console has a hit or a miss every other generation. Being able to take something on the go that has the graphical horsepower of the Switch (albeit that we don't really know the final specs or capabilities) really excites a lot of developers out there. It means their games will be getting played everywhere rather than being tethered to the living room. If it can support something like Skyrim and Breath of the Wild while being out and about it ultimately appeals to a much larger market simply because not everyone has the time to sit and play a 50+ hour game on their couch. They can now play on a lunch break or while sitting on a subway train or during work breaks.

My major concern at this point is will Nintendo handle the release much like they did with the NES Classic and be incredibly conservative on their release numbers? I don't know anyone that wants to wait 6 months just to get one due to lack of availability, myself included. Given how the NES Classic has been handled and the Amiibo before it, I have serious concern that the Switch will be the same way. I surely hope not. I really believe that they need to open up pre-orders in order to gauge how many units they need to produce and ship before the release in March.
