Nintendo’s Switch 2 got off to a roaring start but demand has started to sag, particularly in the US. Where are the big games to reverse this?

    Sure, but it’s also far from the only time that guy has been making shit up, and that’s independent of the part where the Switch 2 is still the fastest-selling console ever (at least when it was last-posted after 7 months on the market it was), so it’s a bit of a weird point to make about “flagging demand” unless that’s an extremely recent thing.

      As far as I know from this evidence you brought, he has never made shit up, because the Switch Pro was happening, and then minds were changed before it was announced. The Switch 2 can both be one of the fastest-selling consoles ever and have less demand than they initially budgeted for. Something Nintendo has been doing with the Switch 2 that’s unprecedented with a home console launch, is that they’re trying really hard to meet launch demand rather than being more conservative with their production lines. It’s not surprising to me then that the Switch 2 only lags behind the Game Boy Advance, because from what I know of the history of that one is that the GBA’s design was settled shortly after the launch of the Game Boy Color, and they only postponed its launch because the GBC was still going strong.
