People are already complaining about too many ports to the Switch as it is, so people would have been mad regardless if they had ported Sun and Moon or not.
This game came out on the Wii U in March 2016. I think it was in the arcades for a bit before then, but it is nowhere near 5 years old.
Funny how you conveniently forgot that ARMS and Splatoon 2 are coming really soon. Also Fire Emblem Warriors and Mario Odyssey later in the year. The Switch is basically getting in its first year what the Wii U got the entire generation.
VGChartz isn't always 100% accurate. Plus I would believe a retailer's numbers to be more exact than VGChartz's anyways.
I think it was supposed to be the Inkling Girl showing off her muscles or maybe even the Rosie the Riveter pose in the "We Can Do It" poster. But it could be taken as "up yours", especially with just how the Inklings act in their game.
The reason why it looks worse than other consoles is that almost every other system came out during the holiday season, so the PS4 or XBoxOne's second month sales just were going to be better than a system's that came out in the Spring. People aren't as willing to spend as much money right now, so it's mostly people who are die-hard Nintendo fans and others more than mildly interested in the system buying it right now. 280k is better than almost every other system's sales ...
For the record many of their directs say that they will focus on games for a certain time period (like Spring 2015 for example) but then still have stuff like Xenoblade Chronicles X or Tokyo Mirage Sessions that didn't come out until months if not years later. There is a chance that they will focus on games for 2017 because we still don't know that much about Mario Odyssey, Xenoblade Chronicles 2, and Fire Emblem Warriors, but there is always a chance that there could be some games te...
It has outsold the PS4 in Japan at least every week since it came out
Care to elaborate on said failure?
Luckily AMRS is confirmed to have regular button controls as well as the motion. I'm not too big into motion control gaming either, but being able to play with actual buttons means I might actually try it out.
The main problem was that GameFreak did not really take advantage of the New 3DS for the most part. Sun and Moon had slightly faster start-up times from the time you select the game to being able to play on the New 3DS, but other than that there was no upgrade from what I can tell. I do agree that the next Pokemon game should come to the Switch, but I would be fine if they also ported it to the New 3DS in order to use the hardware, similar to what they are doing with Fire Emblem Warriors.
Other costumes will surely be an option. I don't like this look either, but hopefully we won't have to play with it if the Arkham or even something like the Tourist alternate costume come back.
Don't try to pretend like Sony and Microsoft didn't do this same thing at the beginning of the PS4 and Xbox ONE. Last of Us Remastered, Halo collection, Nathan Drake Collection, Gears of War Remake, a bunch of Resident Evil games, Beyond Two Souls, Until Dawn, God of War 3, and many more both first and third party. I'm not saying that it's necessarily right that this is happening, but Sony and Microsoft have allowed it to happen so much that it's been normalized as ok to m...
There are probably a lot of people who bought Breath of the Wild while not being able to buy a Switch yet, or bought two games in order to have one to play and one to have in box of as a collector's item.
For the record, Overkill Software doesn't really have that many games that they could port. PayDay is the biggest franchise they have, so I don't think it's that we are getting PayDay 2 over say a Tom Clancy or Battlefront or something like that.
Blizzard games tend to be evergreen, meaning they sell well throughout a generation. Overwatch alone still continues to sell in the top 10 most weeks. And even if there are not very many Switchs out there now, having a big game like Overwatch would attract people who maybe wouldn't otherwise buy one.
The game was already almost done by launch, so there is a very very low chance of it getting delayed
They plan to sell about 2 million by the end of March. The majority of that came at launch, and the other 500k+ will come later
So apparently Snipperclips, Bomberman R, Fast RMX, Shovel Knight, Splatoon, ARMS, Mario Kart 8, Fire Emblem Warriors, and various other games don't exist? Sure there's not as much at launch as most other consoles at launch, though it is actually a fair collection compared to other Nintendo console releases, but there are definitely more to come than Mario and definitely more to play right now than just Zelda.

I think you are underestimating the mass appeal that Splatoon got on the Wii U. The game sold over 4.5 million, with over 1.5 mil both in America and Japan. So a new Splatoon game coming this soon to a vastly more popular system will do wonders for it, especially in Japan. Not to mention that fact that Monster Hunter XX is coming later, which Japan will also eat up. ARMS and FE Warriors are more niche titles, I'll give you that, but they are still types of...
