>> My argument was that Nintendo survives almost entirely off hyper-loyal fanbases for their exclusive titles. Be it Mario, Pokémon, Zelda, Metroid, Fire Emblem, etc. Third party games exist but aren't the reason you buy Nintendo. I agree completely. My view on this is the hyper-loyal fanbase is large enough for Switch to be sustainable, but I don't know if it can take them to Wii (original) numbers. Wii Sports exposed Nintendo to an audience way beyond their hyper-loyal fanbase. Outside of the marquee Nintendo titles and some AAA third party titles, there were a lot of really bad games in the Wii library.
