| curl-6 said: The public's thirst for Pokemon is apparently unquenchable, but the real standout for me is Ring Fit Adventure, a game many scoffed at when it was revealed, on track to be the 8th highest selling game on Switch, passing even the likes of Splatoon 2, Let's Go, etc. |
The Switch shows it doesn't really need that type of software to drive its sales though, which was not the case with the Wii. It's a bonus, but not the main driver of the hardware.
An unprecedented once in a century (literally) event in the pandemic that shut down every public gym on the planet made any kind of new home gym product skyrocket in sales that has a lot to do with it too. Peloton stock was through the roof during the pandemic, now it's way down because people can go back to the gym and get a proper work out.
But fitness is not a bad play to make the occasional game for, there's always going to be fat people who want to lose weight or people who want to lose weight in general. Diet fads are never ending there's a new one every year for like what the last 50 years? You can always capitalize with some kind of new way to lose weight and market it.
