The Nintendo Switch was released on March 3, 2017 (Hong Kong, US, Japan and Europe), and it has been almost 5 years in the blink of an eye, but its sales are still quite popular. Whether it is domestic or foreign, there are many players who love this game console. As of September 30, 2021, the Nintendo Switch has sold about 92.87 million units worldwide, not far from the 116.3 million units of the largest WII in history. Recently, the Japanese media "Wenchun Online" has analyzed 4 specific reasons for this situation, let's take a look at it.
The Nintendo self-company software is too powerful. Mario, Zelda, Dongsen, Pokémon, Smash Bros. Brawl, these keywords around Nintendo each IP is strong enough to be invincible in its own type of game, coupled with Nintendo's understanding of the fun of the game, it is not difficult for game sales to drive the console to take off.
"Mixed gameplay" cannot be ignored. Although the Nintendo Switch was officially defined as a "placed orthodox game console" at the beginning of its birth, players familiar with it know that Nintendo's unique creativity makes it bring a variety of gameplay, even if it is a handheld machine, it is not too much, compared to the competitor PS and XBOX's "rigidity", obviously the advantages of switch can not be replaced.
The rise of indie games. For busy social people who are "immersed" in the game masterpiece, casual, fast and convenient fast food indie games are more realistic.
The anticipated 2022 pandemic is just around the corner. The verbal Nintendo has always been reluctant to reveal the wind of the next generation of game consoles, so the future game masterpiece is still the strongest urging voice of those players who have not yet started with Switch, "Breath of the Wild 2", "Pokémon: Arzeus", "Jet Warrior 3", etc., are all gods who do not play and must lose.
