Yeah on Switch 1, its native software was all you could buy on it, it wasn't like it played Wii U discs or 3DS carts.

Switch 2 software by contrast has to compete with the thousands-strong library of backwards compatible Switch 1 titles.

It's the same with Xbox and Playstation where you didn't need to just purchase PS5 or Xbox Series games you could go back to the PS4 and Xbox/Xbox 360/Xbox One and play those games. I got my Switch 2 on launch and I bought 17 games on it, and during that time I also bought like 10 Switch games.

People seem to forget when a system is backwards compatible you have access to older games. The Switch still sells software like crazy and if it wasn't backwards compatible with Switch 2 then I think it's software sales wouldn't be this high.
