  I would say it definitely was a success if we go by the numbers. That being said it’s pretty bad news for costumer protection that it didn’t fumble. Nintendo’s costumers will receive their wake up call in a few years when the console is outdated, servers shut down/moved to the next thing and games stop working without downloading crucial updates. Or when stick drifts start piling up alongside other problems.

  My Switch and the pro controller got really bad stick drift . That was enough reason for me to not get a Switch 2 but there are so many more reasons why I think the platform kind of sucks and won’t end well despite it’s undeniable success. People just don’t care about any of that I guess. At least not yet.

    I don’t know if I agree Nintendo customers will get upset that the console may “outdated” in a couple of years.

    The Switch was outdated on day one. It struggled to render Kakariko Village in BotW at a steady frame rate. But did that really stop the system from selling millions? Not really. The average consumer kind of doesn’t care about that stuff.

    That said, the Switch 2 is certainly more expensive than the Switch 1 so things may be different this time.
