> It has very few third party games

The library of games on the switch is enormous…



If your interests don’t involve any of the top latest AAA games


I wonder how much gaming time actually involves AAA games?

Just looking at those games I think is a very narrow view.


I disagree with you, they’re top games because they have lots of players playing them. Not because they’re made by a big studio. For ex: COD, Battlefield, NFS, Forza, GTA 5, RDR2, MSFS, Valorant, CS GO. These attract a lot of players and people spend a lot of time ranking up in those games and also money. PC gamers love to call themselves master race and ridicule console players as peasants. Also PS and Xbox also have lot of exclusives that attract a lot of players. For me Switch games feel like something I would play when Im bored, not really an immersive kind of experience.


You’re disagreeing with my question?

I don’t doubt people play these games, but I wonder how much compared to gaming overall?

At this point we have the article about switch sales without those games…


Im sorry I misunderstood your question as a statement. Coming to it, this article mere compares the switch sales to Wii, but despite its availability PS5 surpassed switch sales. But to know the magnitude of the metric I think this would help you https://steamcharts.com/ Thats just from steam.


I think it depends on your interests. Lots of new AAA games can't run on the switch, but most indies do.


not as big as other consoles.


I don’t think you’re right about that. Source?


Type top 50 games on google, and just compare how many are available on Switch.
