    Nintendo switch had 527 games released this year

    Xbox had 355 games

    PS5 had 395 games

    I’m sure there are other factors (like quality of the games, platform exclusivity, etc), but switch is still doing pretty good for an 8 year old console that’s too weak to run new multi-plat games.

      I’ll add that according to that site:

      • switch has 11,439 total games
      • xbox series has 3,285 total games
      • PS5 has 2,699 total games

        How many of those PS5 games are actually PS4 games?

      I would assume they’re taking about platform exclusives. I bet Nintendo is the only company making games just for Nintendo platforms. Any other company making games for the Switch has a strong inventive to port their game to other, more powerful platforms.

    That’s fine. Nintendo would probably sue them for copyright something or other anyway. Like they do to everyone everywhere.
