Yeah but that’s because they historically have been so different than the competition. But in this case they have had their lunch eaten by the steam deck, Rog ally, etc.

The Switch is a lot smaller and pocketable than those you described and is far better as a party game machine. It’s also much more widely available. I don’t think it’s so clear cut especially if people are getting it for their exclusives. Yea, you can emulate it but there’s a bit of work to get the ROMs and BIOS that the average lay person isn’t really comfortable with doing.

That’s true, but they still usually aim to be the first “next gen” console on the market every generation. Admittedly it probably would really affect them if they didn’t hit that but that’s how they’ve always done it

And yet they thrive, kinda funny isn’t it?

Tell that to the Gamecube and Wii U eras. Funny that those are also all-time peaks for game quality, Nintendo is better at making video games when they’re struggling.

The Wii arguably has better first party games than the GC. Mario Kart Wii, Mario Galaxy, DKC Returns, New Soup, Wario Ware…

They still don’t lose anything, not if they can port/upscale them on the way and sell them for today’s prices, why have backwards compatibility am I right?

They thrive now, but they will never forget the Wii U

Mate, with how much the Switch sold, I think they already did.
