Nintendo’s Switch 2 got off to a roaring start but demand has started to sag, particularly in the US. Where are the big games to reverse this?

    Careful with these re-citations. The original Bloomberg article is ny Mochizuki, someone who has consistently pulled things out of his arse for years now.

    Unless you’re currently playing on your Switch 1 4k Pro model that arrived ~2 years ago, I would not give much weight to this.

    (and even if, the cited 4 mil sales is an insanely high number, even the Switch 1 only once managed an actual 6 mil quarter average for 24 mil in a year - but like I said, it’s very likely made up entirely, given the author)

      Just because the Switch Pro didn’t come to pass doesn’t mean they weren’t working on one or planning one. He wasn’t the only one reporting that.

        Sure, but it’s also far from the only time that guy has been making shit up, and that’s independent of the part where the Switch 2 is still the fastest-selling console ever (at least when it was last-posted after 7 months on the market it was), so it’s a bit of a weird point to make about “flagging demand” unless that’s an extremely recent thing.
