From time immemorial, the axiom was about buying the Nintendo Nintendo game console. It is worth the games of other companies made by other publishers, but usually these are types of experiences that can also be found on other platforms. In the case of the latest Nintendo equipment, Switch 2, things are popular in a similar direction – at least for now.
As reported BusinessStatistics for early Nintendo Switch 2 show that users in the United States and Great Britain mostly buy a console for such games Mario Kart World AND The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom. Apparently, most of the games from outside the exchanges developed by Nintendo sell in a “very low” number. The game company quotes one anonymous publisher who said that the numbers are below their expected estimates.
One exception is for Cyberpunk 2077The long -awaited game port, which stands out above other third parties options. The futuristic RPG CD Projekt Red made a messy premiere, and for several updates and extensions it enjoyed a bit of a renaissance in the last few years, when it resembles the original vision of fans. Cyberpunk 2077 It is also beautifully packed with a cartridge that refers to something in a real game. In addition, Neo-Nair Adventure has the advantage that it functions as a presentation of Switch 2 power, especially since it was not available to the first console. Success Cyberpunk 2077 On Switch 2 it was practically predetermined.
“Very low” sale of other third games is contrary to stunning numbers, let’s say Mario Kart Worldwhere the stunning 80% of the console sales meant that the Nintendo driver took the purchase. There is a good chance that Mario Kart got the remaining 20%, simply purchased separately.
There are several reasons why it can develop in this way, apart from the obvious factor, that the reason for buying the Nintendo console is the exclusive games of the Japanese programmer. Many titles available during the premiere are game ports that can already be played on all major platforms, including the first switch. Switch 2 and its prices initially caused confusion when users did not agree to the price of USD 449.99, which makes it more exorbitant than some PS5 and Xbox models. In combination with higher prices of games, such as Joy-Con 2, it is a real possibility that some consumers feel selective in their purchases. Switch 2 fired in an era, in which the price of eggs is a regular point of conversation, and in reality the console is a luxurious object.
Personally, I only bought Mario Kart World So far, but not because I don’t want other games. This helps that backward compatibility means that my choices are not confined on Switch 2 – if at all, improved power gives me more reasons to recalculate the games that I already have. I imagine that I am not alone in it, although it is humorous enough, many older games tempting me, as you guessed, made by Nintendo.
TGB also indicates that consumers can experience friction with a misleading concept on key cards. There is evidence that people are Accidental buying the wrong version of the switch game Now that some titles are available on both the current and previous generation. Undoubtedly, some also invade that key cards require downloading the game despite the purchase of a physical copy.
Among all these considerations and stars, it is worth noting that switch 2 numbers are generally promising. The continuation of the console broke the records just a few days after its release, and weeks have passed from that moment. Still, there is no straightforward way to cut the narrative around the console, right? It is tough to say how it compares with a switch or competitors when Nintendo had many more units to buy from the very beginning. Would PS5 cope better if people could find him in the first few years?
The first switch also had much less physical games during the premiere than younger siblings. Nintendo could not be made available to review units for Switch 2 for the main publications, including Polygon, which affects the game’s relationship, because publications must try to write with more huge number of ticket elements in a timely manner. Consumers may not know what to play out of Mario Kart WorldAnd at the beginning they may not care – the driver has not lost the gloss yet.
Over time, the narrative around Switch 2 and other companies may change. People can buy nintendo consoles for Nintendo games, but the first change was still the favorite repository of independent games. On the other hand, things worked in this way because of time. In 2017, most of the main games were put into TVs and monitors. These days? The number of portable high -power machines becomes tough to track and only comes more.
