It's Impossible To Separate Out The Success Of The Nintendo Switch And 'Zelda' Right Now

In case you hadn't heard the good news, the Nintendo Switch is selling well. In many regions, it's the fastest selling console since the Wii. In others, like the US, it's even outsold that. In some places, like Spain, the Switch's launch is even bigger than the PS4's. While I don't want to diminish the fact that Nintendo is having a successful initial launch period here, what I can't stop thinking about is the idea that the Switch's good fortune may be less driven by people wanting the actual console, but rather people wanting to play The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild because the game is That.
