    It’s also right at the end of the prior generation. Let’s get Switch 2 release numbers in and compare to Switch 1 release numbers before we draw too many conclusions.

    That said, the PC market has been overtaking consoles. Particularly since PC handhelds are a thing. Things like the Steam Deck are directly competing with Switch and (soon) Switch 2 sales.

      Yeah. A PC “console” brings so much value since “backward compatibility” isn’t even really a thing. Pretty much all games just work, even older console exclusives via emulation. I can’t imagine upgrading my pc and having to repurchase a game with “HD” graphics.
