Explain the wiiu, GC and N64 then. 2 of them which failed horribly. I think exclusives sell systems but there are several factors  why a console has great sales just look at the ps5 its selling great with only 1 exclusive game in 4 years lol. it's only behind the switch by 1 or 2 million launch aligned.

WiiU lost support from Nintendo to 3DS, GC lost support to GBA, and N64 lost support to GB color. Nintendo no longer splits their support between two consoles. Switch fixed that.

Yes switch fixed that but theres more to console sales then exclusives, brand plays a huge role and Nintendo handhelds have always sold better then the consoles despite the console having the much better games. Nintendo is the king of handhelds and their brand holds a a lot of weight while their traditional home console started declining after super nes.  it's like the playstation the brand plays a massive role in it's success along with advertising and timing, as well as making the right moves.
