Nintendo should really have put Sakurai on a new Smash instead of Kirby, imagine if a new Smash game for Switch 2 got dropped this november for Switch 2 instead of Kirby. It would have led to a lot of hype and increased sales. Instead Kirby did nothing in Europe and all the hype this holiday is about the PS5. Missed opportunity for Nintendo. Instead of releasing many smaller games this holiday they should have released something of a similar size to Mario Odyssey back in 2017. For new consoles, the prioritity should be bigger and fewer games over many but smaller releases, instead Nintendo released a lot of smaller games that don't have any impact on the appeal of the system.

Sony probably can't believe their luck in Nintendo making that sort of mistake, they know that if Nintendo dropped a smash or a 30th anniversary 3D Mario game this year the attention would have been all on Switch 2. Nintendo probably thought Donkey Kong would have a strong effect but it hasn't done anything to create hype for Switch 2 in Europe.
