Nintendo ips sure are doing it for switch, so that doesn't make any sense. when it's a console nintendo ip have little effect, sales are still bad now look at the switch, it's selling good mainly because of nintendo ip's

I'm not sure where the denial is.

Switch has third party games that act as fillers and, more importantly, the Nintendo IPs have been released faster than on previous consoles. Software sells hardware, so a steady flow of new and interesting releases is crucial for sales momentum. Switch's output over two years is basically equal to the whole lifetime of the N64, GC and Wii U, so while it might look like there's no difference, time is a significant factor here.

Sure let's come with every excuse in the book. You realize how pathetic N64, and GC sold mainly because they were consoles. Mario 64 was a launch title, mario kart 64 out came out a year later. Then zelda OOT, those were generation defining games that made PS look pathetic, if they were on a handheld at that time, that handheld would have easily sold 20 million in japan. GC  4 LTD million had smash it's first year. you can't just explain those things away. Every console since after ps2 hasn't broken the 15 million barrier in japan. I respect your opinion, but disagree.
