A lot of different factors help sell a system but what is the main thing that makes a system successful and sell.

I say its the game Library.

Tag:I'm not bias towards Nintendo. You just think that way (Admin note - it's "biased". Not "bias")

Switch is 9th generation. Everyone else is playing on last gen systems! UPDATE: This is no longer true

you buy an console to play games. When me and my brothers got the PS1 from our parents they bought it for such titles as crash bani coot, spyro and ape escape. Bought PS2 for GTA and i bought an PS3 for call of duty but later didn't care about that and loved the exclusives like uncharted

Of Course That's Just My Opinion, I Could Be Wrong

For me personally, it's definitely the library of games. I don't care about the price if it has a bunch of kick-ass games.
