Are there lots of non Nintendo games exclusive to the original Switch? Nintendo consoles are for Nintendo games. Non Nintendo games on Nintendo consoles are a nice bonus, but only when looking at the lifetime of the console and not the launch.

Change the headline to 5 year old game doesn't sell well. Another switch 2 hit piece for a great selling system that's actually available.

I like my switch 2. Calling it a switch pro is just comparing it to PlayStation pro. Which is $700.You are narrow minded if you think there has to be a shortage to be great selling. Keep drinking the bitter Kool aid and reading negative articles. I'm having fun on my switch 2 with my whole family I'll play your little kid "sorry" insult game with you. Sorry that $500 is too much for you and that you can't easily afford it.

A lot of indie games like Isaac, Hades, and Slay the Spire got PC gamers like me to double dip (or in Hades' case, actually choose Switch over Steam) for the gameboy factor. The Switch (2) is no longer unique in that regard. I haven't touched my Switch 1 for anything but exclusives since the Steam Deck came out.

I also have a SteamDeck so indie games I previously bought on the Switch 1, I would now buy on the SteamDeck. If I only had a Switch or Switch 2, there are advantages to buying handheld versus a PC/Xbox/PlayStation. With the new Xbox handheld thing that likely further cuts into the handheld market and unique feature of the Switch.
