Nintendo just sold 3.5 million Switch 2s in about four days.

I think they’ll survive.

Yeah, these PC handhelds are great for us enthusiast geeks but they will never have the same allure as a Nintendo handheld with Mario, Pokemon, Zelda, Kart, and Smash to mainstream users. Nintendo’s exclusive games do have a huge pull. Switch 2 will eclipse the Steam Deck sales in mere weeks which I’m sure comes as little surprise to Valve.

Will be interesting to see how the new Xbox backed device sells since it should have more marketing muscle and the Xbox name behind it and actually be sold in common retail stores.
