VGChartz isn't a good place for this question. The answer is a resounding YES, but no-one on here is going to admit it and we can already see that from the first 10 replies. You raised an excellent point with the Wii-U, it would have helped it massively. GTA 6 is not a game that you can afford to have skip your system, and if your releasing a system in 2025 and GTA 6 can't run on it for technical reasons, you've launched a totally redundant system.

The Nintendo fans on here though are somewhat delusional because of the Switch 1's success that they think the Switch 2's success is also guaranteed. Thankfully we only have to wait until June 6 for them to come back down to earth. 

No it wouldn't have. It would've sold some Wii U's but almost everyone would've just played it on the PS3 or 360 that they already owned or later on got it for the PS4, Xbox One or PC. Do you think GTA 6 is far more valuable than Mario, Zelda, Animal Crossing, Splatoon and Smash Bros and the rest of Nintendo's franchises combined? Cause if the PS5 can survive without all of those with no issue the Switch 2 obviously doesn't need a single game when it has all of that and a lot of third party support.

Also you don't need to be a Nintendo fan to recognize that the Switch 2 is in a good position, just simple analysis is enough to figure that out.

It's not in a good position though. The only big AAA third party game it's getting that wasn't on PS4/Xbone is Borderlands 4 I think, and that's worrying. Why is there no Dragon age Veilguard, dragons dogma 2, monster hunter wilds etc? 

Also, Yes GTA 6 is more important than all of those first party Switch 2 games, because you don't need to buy a Switch 2 to play those franchises. Of course you'll need one to play the newest versions, but I think most people will just stick with their old Switch to play them. That's the feeling I'm getting from the reception to Switch 2. With GTA 6, I'm seeing a major urgency to get it. they drop a trailer and it breaks records in terms of viewership. I've never seen anything like this before in media entertainment.
