At 10 million units sold since March, Nintendo Switch has had a dominant 2017, far in excess of Nintendo’s internal expectations (not to mention my own). In the process, it also won me over as a more-than-worthy Vita replacement, a secondary console that will keep me company both at home and while traveling for years to come.
