And people like Josh Thomas from the youtube channel Nintendo Beyond still claim the Wii had a much better first year in terms of games than the Switch lol. Some people are so full of themselves that they can't see reality anymore.

He is not exactly wrong. It is heavily subjective but number of games or even the metacritic score does not tell the whole story. A transcending game like Wii Sports is most definitely worth more to console than probably every indie title out on Switch. If you take just the big titles on Wii and Switch in the same time period, you would be hard pressed to outright claim he is wrong. It could go either way and I have found that bias plays a heavy role in the opinion on this topic.

 

He is not crazy to think Wii had a better first year. I think it did, too. Switch's first year is nothing to scoff at but I prefer Wii's first year more.

Wii Sports was a shallow tech demo at best. The game sucks.

Wii's first year was nothing notable outside of a few big Nintendo releases.
