You need to get out of your bubble. The top 4 best selling games by revenue in the USA last year aren't even on the Switch. The amount of gigantic titles that have skipped the Switch is huge. It's fine to have Switch as your primary platform, but to claim that Switch is where gaming as a whole is at and that other platforms are pathetic is so far removed from reality. Nintendo themselves are the only ones pushing huge numbers on the Switch. Your personal likes and dislikes have made you completely lose perspective, Switch is just a part of a humongous industry.

In 2024 alone you have massive titles like College Football, Helldivers 2, Black Myth Wukong, Palworld and Black Ops 6 all 20m+ sellers (or definitely on their way there) skipping Switch.

I mean using that argument, PS5 is missing games like Mario Kart 8 deluxe that will sell over 80 million copies. Isn't it a big blow for the PS5 to miss out on such games? Why is it only a blow for Nintendo to miss out on those big selling games to PS but not the other way as well?

Of course Mario Kart 8 is one of the biggest games there is, but saying that Switch is "really where gaming is at" and is the "main gaming platform" when most publishers barely sell titles on it is ridiculous. It's an absolutely laughable statement.

Switch can be someone's primary gaming platform but to suggest it's the primary platform for the industry takes copious amounts of koolaid.

GTA 6 which will be one of, if not the biggest game launch of all time is coming this year for goodness sake. How can switch be "really where gaming is at" while missing almost every major title by anyone who isn't Nintendo.

Switch is an incredible system with incredible games and has had basically unparalleled success but people need to get some perspective. The video games industry is monumentally bigger than just Nintendo.

There s no singular platform where "gaming is at" and to compare the PS5 to the N64 is unbelievable.
