What would the alternative be for families anyway? Instead of a Switch, buy an expensive Switch 2, PS5 or Xbox Series S/X, or maybe a gaming PC or laptop? Probably not. The fact remains that the Switch is still the only somewhat affordable console. We don't even need to mention smartphones; they have been the main driver of growth in the gaming industry for many years.

Older game console like 7th or 8th gen, why not ? Or even low end PC/laptop that can play light games, or heavier older ones. Or play on the smartphone you have. Nowadays you can play games on it even if it's old. There is always alternatives.

Turns out, Mattrick was ahead of the curve...
