The old adage in gaming still holds in 2025: you purchase a Nintendo system to play Nintendo titles. Although third-party titles provide diversity, the majority of consumers want to see pillar series like "Mario Kart" and "Pokemon" as the primary reason for purchasing Nintendo hardware. And initial sales figures for the Nintendo Switch 2 seem to confirm this.
There's no harm in buying the new console for the sake of exclusivity, but the sad fact about this is that third-party game titles tend to get overlooked. When this happens, their sales will go "very low" and this is bad news for some publishers.
