Comment on The Switch 2 Rollout Was So Convoluted It Made Us Want A Steam Deck.

It’s not convoluted at all. It’s extremely simple: if you want to play first party Nintendo titles (or other exclusives), you MUST buy a switch. If you don’t care about Nintendo exclusives, there’s absolutely no reason to own a switch. That has been true of every, single Nintendo console ever released… except for the Wii. People bought a Wii so they could play a motion control game with Grandma once or twice, and then just let the console sit and collect dust.

    How does that have anything to do with you pirating developers’ hard work?

When the Switch 1 release there was nothing else on the market like it. Play handheld on the bus, get home, dock it, continue playing in full HD. That is amazing. I didn’t get the Switch 1 because of the exclusives, it was the versatility that got me.

  I agree that Nintendo was ahead of the curve when it came to expanding portable gaming, but the only reason the switch sold so many units, and ultimately got so many games ported to it, was because of Nintendo first party titles. If you look at the best selling switch titles, the vast majority of them are Nintendo games. Without Nintendo first party titles, the switch would have been far outsold by better devices.

Well. NES/SNES/N64/GameCube/DS/GBA all had bangers. The well started to dry up around the wii.
