My answer to this has been and continues to be this: just do what Nintendo did. Pump out exclusives (not just console exclusives i.e. no PC release), invest in marketing, and perform some crowd-pleasing stunts (e.g. Sony’s famous “299” clip, Smash Ultimate’s “Everyone Is Here!”, and XB360’s comparably generous launch MSRP). You generate some powerful buzz and all the sudden you’ve got a successful system… well I think that’s how that works at least lol.
