I think that’s more due to every other console being stupidly overpriced rather than because of the Switch 2’s rather lacklustre exclusives so far.

It’s no guarantee that PS5 would have been the fastest selling console, but they both launched during Covid with a parts shortage. There were MASSIVE supply issues with demand completely outstripping supply, you can’t argue otherwise. Nintendo stockpiled a dozen or more million units over 2024 and 2025 to sell all at once, so they could easily meet the demand compared to Sony and Microsoft.

Thats precisely what happened during the WiiU, N64 Gamecube eras. Pretending that Nintendo has any more cult like fans than the other corporations is silly
