I imagine that those buying the #Switch2 at launch are pretty hardcore gamer-sorts. As such, they've likely already played, or have decided against playing many of those third party games that hit the Switch 2.

Throw in the fact that many of these games are priced significantly more expensive than they would be on other platforms that they likely also own (hardcore gamers), and the fact that many of the games have been out for years; is it any wonder this has been the case through the first few weeks?

It was the biggest console launch of all time, but was Nintendo Switch 2 a success for third-parties?

@danielholt I think long term this won’t matter. I do think it wa silly to have these older games come at these price points and only Cyberpunk be on the cartridge.

Only switch 2 games I have gotten so far myself are cyberpunk cause I love the game and rune factory. Zelda upgrades came with my switch online membership
