I think the word a lot of people are overlooking in Jumpin's post is "only". Covid was obviously a factor, but it was not the only one. Switch also got its biggest killer app in 2020, Animal Crossing, which became a pop culture phenomenon and opened up the console to a whole new audience who wouldn't have bought one for Mario or Zelda or Smash. |
Animal crossing came out at the same time lockdowns happened. It just happened to be the killer app people got with the Switch due to Covid. |
It would have been a huge killer app with or without covid. It broadened the system's appeal to a huge untapped audience and greatly increased Switch's appeal to women and casuals.
