More than most major publishers, Nintendo seem to really see the importance of investing in games like Xenoblade which may sell only 1-3 million but nonethless are crucial to diversifying their lineup to hit a wider audience.

As much as the stereotype is that Nintendo only ever makes Mario/Zelda/Pokemon, the sheer range of first party titles on Switch is quite impressive; everything from Xenoblade to Switch Sports, Metroid Dread to Mario Kart Live, Pikmin to Splatoon.

In an industry where the rising costs of cutting edge game development are driving so many companies to go all-in on AAA "prestige" games, I really love that Nintendo still value smaller titles that may not sell 10 million or win dozens of GOTY awards, but nonetheless bring a unique flavour to the Switch buffet.

This deserves Billion likes Nintendo knows what they are doing.
