Hardware - Nintendo Switch 2 has now surpassed 2 million units sold in the US life-to-date. It is currently 75% ahead of the unit sales pace set by the original Nintendo Switch.bsky.app
I just want to know the expectation and reality here...
Are we expecting a game console to release, break a sales record, and continue to break its own sales records continuously for...months? years?
Its like "Movie X came out and sold 5m$$$ but then it stopped and ONLY sold 2M! then 1m the week after week!" how much demand should things have? Nintendo accurately targeted their initial demand, met it in almost every market and done. That is better than “it’s sold out for 5 years! Like the ps5!”

Its still 70% ahead of the OG Switch by this time, though its hard to say how much of that was a production issue.

I believe 1 or 2 of those japan only games still go for hundreds or more on eBay.
I loved my virtual boy at release and when I rebought it used about 7 or so years ago randomly lol

If I could play them normally on the Switch id be more interested. I dont want to have to use the eye thing. I have my Virtual Boy from the 90s still. It sucks to use.

- Mario Galaxy film teaser looks good I guess. I'm not worried, the first one was pretty good.
- Mario Galaxy 1 + 2 re-release is pretty cool, might grab them as I haven't played them in years.
- Yoshi game looks cute, if a bit slow-paced. I enjoyed the last 2 Yoshi games so maybe this'll look better soon.
- Hades 2. Enjoyed Hades but the sequel gets bad press. I prefer to play those handheld so Switch 2 I guess.
- Hyrule Warriors 3. Loved Age of Calamity, so I'd say yes, but the characters and gadgets may make it weird..
- Virtual Boy, don't care about it at all myself, but good for those that want to experience that I guess.
- Power Wash Simulator 2, yes please. Spent way too much time on that game but it's kinda addictive.
- Metroid Prime 4, yessssssssssssss. Preview looks awesome. Wish they'd do remasters of 2 and 3 though.
- DK Bananza DLC, enjoyed it so much I 100%'ed it, so I'm sure this'll be pretty good.
