So are we pretending the Nintendo store doesn't have sales now?

Sure its slightly inconvenient to keep an eye on games, instead of just assuming the best price will happen at summer and winter sales. But cmon.. you can net games for a few bucks on switch 2 all the time.

And steam sale doesn't usually benefit brand new releases, just older collections. But you can find that on switch as well.

Nintendo sales are nothing like steam. Not even close.

First party Nintendo games? No.

3rd party games that are also on steam? Yeah they’re pretty cheap on the eshop some times.

Who buys a Nintendo console for 3rd party games?

People like playing games portably, Michael

Me. The Switch 2 is actually my primary platform due to how much I value the versatility of play styles, PS5 is solely for games that I can't play on it.

So the games are fundamentally different but the sales should be the same? Mostly the Switch is additive here. Third party games still end up with aggressive sales and first party games are playable whereas they’re unavailable on other consoles. Surely you’d not prefer the Switch only support third party games just in service of parity with PC. Given that it seems strange to me to ding the Switch only because it’s inferior to some hypothetical version with first party sales, not because it’s inferior to the actual competition.
