Switch 2 will be successful but gta6 will be the biggest released game ever and yes it will take some hype away from Switch 2, they can of course coexist but of course it will take away some sales from Switch 2. We are in not In a free money period like covid boost people won't have 1k to buy both consoles. Switch 2 will differently be very interesting to see how it does in sales.

Let's say GTA6 and Tears of the Kingdom would have launched in the same month. I'm pretty sure TotK would not have sold a single copy less, nor would the TotK Switch version. There are audiences out there that don't care for GTA6 or prefer other franchises more.

I tend to agree.  Not sure the competition directly impacts sales of Nintendo 1st party sales.  Just different target audience.

I do agree with ZeldaRing that GTA6 could push some hardware.  I think GTA6 will shatter records.

And I still think Steam needs to be a focus for Square.  Steam is growing and has a massive user base.  It makes no sense to ignore them.
