As much as I don't like their style of only releasing their games for first-party hardware (and reselling them on every new generation) I have to admit that Nintendo makes some great games. Most of the Super Mario games, Smash, Mario Kart and others are fantastic. On top of that the Switch has seen a plethora of content including many smaller or indie studio games being available. From a purely pick-up-and-play perspective I can see why the Switch is popular. Not good enough to make me buy their hardware (I very much like PC gaming and hardware that isn't locked down) but I definitely consider it. Although now that the Steam Deck and it's competitors are out I wouldn't be surprised if that changes. There are still some benefits of the Switch but having fairly direct competitors will surely hurt. Even though I am not a mobile gamer I am really happy to see more competition in this market. (My partner is in the market. She liked her Switch a lot but when it was time to upgrade she decided to go for the Steam Deck and really loves it. Especially since she ended up buying many games on PC and Switch and was frustrated by lack of ability to sync saves and often lack of cross-play.)
