Nintendo made a fairly big mistake in having 3 smaller games late 2025 (Hyrule Warriors, Kirby, Metroid). They should have gone for Switch 2017 strategy when they had Mario Odyssey as the holiday title. And it was the perfect opportunity because its Super Mario's 40th anniversary this year as well. Smaller games don't lead to people wanting to buy a new console. This was a failure of planning on Nintendo's part this year.
When all big third party games skip the system, that means Nintendo themselves need to step up with big releases, and they failed to do so. I fear this mistake combined with Sony price cuts in the US and Europe will lead to a bad holiday for Switch 2 in western markets. Lack of big first and third party releases for the Switch 2 has led to lower mind share than a new system should have on the market.
