The Switch proves systems don’t sell on specs. They sell on games.
Microsoft does need to remember one important thing about the Switch reveal, however: Breath of the Wild was just one page of the handheld console’s success story. The Switch’s first year line-up was excellent, period, and featured exclusives like Super Mario Odyssey. Breath of the Wild also garnered tons of social media discourse thanks to its excellent review scoresnot to mention it plays very differently from any 3D Zelda game before it, which really piqued everyone’s interest.
If Halo Infinite proves to be the only must-have game in the Scarlett’s launch window, and if its reception is anything less than “Wow!”, people might find something else to spend their money on. The holiday season is filled with temptations vying for gamers time and money.
