It's no mistake that the NES/SNES were held onto for a long time. Literally some of the most popular consoles ever...much like the switch.
Switch lite and OLED version to extend it's life and people ate that up. New buyers buying for the first time, old buyers re-buying the same console basically. Big Brain stuff.
my dad bought a switch for his wife recently. neither one of them are “gamers.” i think they only play mario kart!
what percentage of active Switches are "Mario Kart machines", do you think? I'd bet money on like...10% at least.
id bet its more pokemon machines for whatever system the current pokemon game is on
at least the switch is that for me. animal crossing machine for my gf
