So because it is selling well and had the best launch ever for a console, the over inflated software and hardware prices, sparse software lineup and dropping support for the switch 1 are no longer valid points? Everyone keeps supporting the one point I didn’t (and won’t) criticize while refusing to discuss the very honest points I do bring up. It’s the same post launch issues they’ve have every generation since the n64 and the best anyone can say is “it sold well”. Yes, it sold well, what about everything else about the system?

For first party support, Tomodachi Life did just come out, and sales data shows that around half of the sales were for Switch 1. Switch 2’s launch year was certainly lean compared to the excellent 2017 Switch lineup, but there were a lot of heavy hitters from all of their top IPs and that wheelchair basketball game. With how similar the consoles are, I’d imagine we’ll still get a handful of first party Switch 1 titles like Rhythm Heaven and cross-gen games like Metroid and Pokemon Z-A.
The Switch was fairly underpowered when it launched in 2017, so the fact that we’re even getting new games for it more than a year after Switch 2 is pretty nice. And it’ll get third party/indie support for many more years.
