Consider this, though:

- For many, the only game they want around launch is Zelda.

- For others, they don't even want Zelda and may just get Switch early to secure one.

- Some old games are hard to find for decent prices. This also allows for playing them on the go. With buttons & multiplayer (not buttonless, solo app emulators).

It is more a supplemental thing to add to the stuff you can do at launch besides buying a Wii U game for $360-$430.
