Yeah I don't think hardware is a problem, nor price. They just need more games that impress and validate purchase of the console. The last Switch 2 exclusive with mass appeal was Donkey Kong and if I check my notes that was in July lol

Not only that but it kinda looks like a Switch game. Nintendo truly have to draw a line in the sand between generations both in terms of exclusivity but also is making clear to a casual consumer why they are forking out $450 as opposed to just continuing to play their current Switch.

So far everything announced for 2026 looks like a Switch port.

Price is a problem: both software and hardware, it cut Nintendo from the family market.

And even Nintendo fans have not yet adopted the Switch 2 (like me ) for lack of compelling game coupled with a uninteresting prices.

Switch 2 flopping its first November was unexpected. There are still December , but with that prices tags, a lot of families will stay on Switch.
