What do you guys think causes nintendo first party games to sell so well on switch? I think that it's a few things.

1 The quality of the games are there people know the games are good.
2 Consistent releases. Nintendo putting out fire emblem, zelda, mario, and other franchises consistently help build build fanbases.
3 Nintendo fans talk about nintendo franchises. I gave golden sun and f zero 99 a chance because people talk about how good those series are.
4 Smash bros. Smash is a large marketing tool that advertises games to gamers.

Those are all good reasons.

A couple of others:

I think the first-party "Nintendo game, Nintendo system" factor is a big part of it. When people buy a Nintendo console, they often get a Nintendo game (or two, or three) with it. Nintendo often offers these bundled in.

Also, Nintendo basically owns the heavily neglected local multiplayer sector: Mario Kart, Pokemon, Smash, Tetris, Super Mario Bros, and so on. Games like Monster Hunter and Stardew Valley are a rare serious competitor, and they tend to do great.
