I feel like everyone is overcomplicating this. If you look at all the biggest and best selling games released this year, you can see that they're not on the Switch 2. COD, Battlefield, CO E 33, Borderlands 4, Elder scrolls Oblivion remake. None of these are on Switch 2, so why get one? They're called games consoles and you can't afford to not have these. Everyone will say "Switch 1 didn't have those types of games either", but Switch 2 costs more and the Switch concept isn't new anymore. For a similar price as the Switch 2 you could get a PS5 that plays all those games. Why wouldn't the average consumer go for the PS5? 

I mean, Nintendo IP and Nintendo games are expected to be among the bigger games in the industry, or you mean to tell us that in a span of a few months, Nintendo IP has gone from being incredibly popular to now be less popular than Oblivion and Expedition 33? Have you seen how much software Nintendo has sold over the decades of just their own first party games?

Isn't the reality more that for some reason, Nintendo has largelly filled the first year of the Switch 2 with smaller and mid size IP like Kirby and Donkey Kong? And even a mid size IP like Donkey Kong is selling great, will probably already be at 5M+ sales on a low install base when their next fiscal report happens.
