I'm still so baffled how so many people bought this console

Great for switch.

I'm still so baffled how so many people bought this console

I only use it as a console and it isn't the best console, but as a Nintendo handheld it makes sense. 3DS had a ton of issues at launch and people feared handheld gaming was dead, yet it still managed 70 million sales. I did not expect Switch to do this well but smack dab between DS and 3DS sales makes a lot of sense.


I wonder how Zelda will do long term. Obviously that's a huge number but unless Switch 2 lacks games, it might have really bad legs compared to most Nintendo games.
