Not particularly relevant when evergreen sales making up large parts of Nintendo's sales is completely normal. The existence of evergeen software doesn't mean all newer software is dry. Let's take a look at 2020 software sales of 2020 releases to test your hypothesis. Animal Crossing - 31.18 million A total of 54.43 million games sold. Looks like your hypothesis failed the test, since it's not a very dry year afterall. Animal Crossing has been the most significant release on Nintendo Switch since 2017. Not only was this the highest selling year for first party software released in that particular year on the Switch, but perhaps among the highest in Nintendo's history. Additionally, Animal Crossing is the first killer app released on Switch since 2017. |
Only people that are "Nintendoomers" (totally stealing that from you going forward) would view 50+ million games of new releases sold in a year as "bad/dry".
