“Snipperclips,” another Switch exclusive, certainly didn’t sell 2 million copies in less than a week. This obviously influenced the high sales marks for “Odyssey.” A more entrenched player base means more potential sales. The Wii U, by comparison, sold fewer than that across its entire lifespan. According to Business Insider, the Switch is expected to sell 14 million units by March 2018. This has made the Switch a very popular device to have - even among gamers who skipped over the Wii U. Games like “The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild,” “Splatoon 2" and even “Arms” have provided ample reasons to keep the system from collecting dust. This charming piece of hardware has been the pleasant surprise of the year, with a library of fantastic titles trickling out in 2017 to keep the system fresh in gamer’s minds. The first and major element behind its success is the Nintendo Switch itself. So, instead of a general review of a title that most gamers are either going to get or have already beaten, I’m going to examine some of the elements that I believe made “Odyssey” a hit.
