Switch Sports ranking ahead of the likes of Animal Crossing and Minecraft is really something.
Hopefully we see a fleshed out sequel, similar to what Resort was to the original Wii Sports, on the next system.

Speaking of the next system, it's looking like it will have a veritable monopoly on Japan, unless Nintendo decides to make the same mistake as Sony and price it too high.

Oof, I shudder to think of what would happen to the Japanese console market if Nintendo mis-prices the Switch 2. Japan clearly isn't into the PS5 at its current price and if Switch 2 makes a similar pricing mistake, the console market in Japan will be in deep trouble.

Yeah things will be bleak indeed if Nintendo are dumb enough to overcharge for Switch 2. 

It will probably still sell okay-ish just cos it will almost certainly certainly be portable, and a cheaper Lite model after 2 years or so could be a get out of jail card for them, but sales would be much worse than the current system, which is already practically carrying the Japanese console market.
