Those are insane numbers, especially for a system with no games. Right now its quite literally just Mario Kart.

No figures, but Switch 2 had a great launch in Portugal as well.

Google Translate: "Although without concrete numbers, the Nintendo Switch 2 was the best launch ever of a Nintendo console in Portugal! There is no official statement on the subject, however, it was the answer we got when I questioned Nintendo of Europe, something that reflects what happened in other countries in Europe"

Personal experience here in Brazil:

One of my best friends, a coworker, who is really into Nintendo since his childhood, is pretty sad with the pricings from them and don't know when he'll get one, he said it might take another big Zelda to convince him, and he has a Switch and never got Tears of the Kingdom up until now (while I, a way more of a Playstation guy, got TotK at launch, lol).

Brazil has a lot of Nintendo fans, but people here, like me, don't react well to big prices at all, so more than the Switch 2 price, a game costing R$500 here is really pushing people off. I myself am refusing to pre order Ghost of Yotei since Sony is rising their prices to R$400 instead of the R$350 they used to charge, and that is my most antecipated game since God of War Ragnarok, so... R$500 is really, really too much.

That contradiction came fast. Going from "no games" to "it has the sequel to one of the best-selling games of all time."

Its ONE game. lol

If we're being pedantic "gameS" is plural. Mario Kart is just one game. Any other new games on the Switch 2 worthy of purchasing a $450 console for?

On launch day, I saw on MercadoLivre (A famous site for sales here) with more than 500+ sold, now they are all sold out. You can only see scalpers putting on sale by more than R$6500 (~US$ 1080). I was already surprised that it sold even a unit here lol

Edit: Just the item that are charging for R$6500 is 5th best sold in Consoles category with more than 1k units sold!

I just found one slot selling the base console for R$7000!!! It also states that sold more than 1k units and it is the 4th best sold in Consoles category

That doesn't change the fact that your original post is based on a fallacy.

And believe it or not, not every gamer already owns one of those other platforms.
