Third-party games made by other publishers are worthwhile, but typically those are the sorts of experiences you can find on other platforms as well. For Nintendo\u2019s latest hardware, the Switch 2, things are trending in a similar direction \u2014 at least for now.<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">As reported by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thegamebusiness.com\/p\/it-was-the-biggest-console-launch\">The Game Business<\/a>, stats for early <a href=\"https:\/\/www.polygon.com\/nintendo-switch-2\">Nintendo Switch 2<\/a> show that adopters in the United States and UK are mostly purchasing the console for games like <em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.polygon.com\/awards\/606770\/mario-kart-world-goty-game-of-the-year\">Mario Kart World<\/a><\/em> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.polygon.com\/zelda-tears-of-the-kingdom-guide\"><em>The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom<\/em>.<\/a> Apparently, most games outside of those developed by Nintendo are selling in \u201cvery low\u201d numbers. The Game Business quotes one anonymous publisher saying that the numbers are coming in below their expected estimates.<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.polygon.com\/nintendo-switch-2\/604269\/switch-2-cyberpunk-2077-ultimate-edition-best-title\">one exception is for <em>Cyberpunk 2077<\/em><\/a>, a much-anticipated port for a game that stands out above other third-party options. CD Projekt Red\u2019s futuristic RPG had <a href=\"https:\/\/www.polygon.com\/22178913\/cyberpunk-2077-launch-controversy-cd-projekt\">a messy launch<\/a> and, through the course of several updates and expansions, has enjoyed <a href=\"https:\/\/www.polygon.com\/reviews\/23014759\/cyberpunk-2077-patch-1-5-review-ps5-xbox-series-x\">somewhat of a renaissance<\/a> in the last couple of years now that it resembles the original vision pitched to fans. <em>Cyberpunk 2077<\/em> is also packaged beautifully with a cartridge that references something in the actual game. Beyond that, the neo-noir adventure has the benefit of functioning as a showcase for the power of the Switch 2, especially since it wasn\u2019t available for the first console. The success of <em>Cyberpunk 2077 <\/em>on Switch 2 was practically preordained.<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">The \u201cvery low\u201d sales of other third-party games stands in contrast to the eye-popping numbers for, say, <em>Mario Kart World<\/em>, where a staggering 80% of console sales had Nintendo\u2019s racer bundled into the purchase. There\u2019s a good chance the other 20% got Mario Kart as well, just purchased separately.<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">There are a few reasons things could be unfolding this way, beyond the obvious factor that the reason to buy a Nintendo console is for the Japanese developer\u2019s exclusive games. Many of the titles available at launch are ports for games that are already playable on all major platforms, including the first Switch. The Switch 2 and its pricing initially <a href=\"https:\/\/www.polygon.com\/nintendo-switch-2\/551545\/price-history-comparison-inflation\">caused some ruckus as users balked<\/a> at the $449.99 pricetag, which makes it more expensive than some models of the PS5 and Xbox. Combined with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.polygon.com\/nintendo-switch-2\/561021\/accessories-price-increase-pre-order\">higher prices for games accessories<\/a> like the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.polygon.com\/review\/607759\/joy-con-2-nintendo-switch-2\">Joy-Con 2<\/a>, there\u2019s the real possibility some consumers feel selective in their purchases. The Switch 2 launched during an era where the price of eggs is a regular talking point, and the reality is that the console is a luxury item.<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">Personally, I\u2019ve only bought <em>Mario Kart World<\/em> so far, but it\u2019s not because I don\u2019t want other games. It does help that backwards compatibility means my choices don\u2019t feel limited on the Switch 2 \u2014 if anything, the improved power is giving me more reason to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.polygon.com\/nintendo-switch-2\/604225\/switch-2-pokemon-scarlet-violet-shiny-easy\">revisit games I already own<\/a>. I imagine I\u2019m not alone in that, though funnily enough, many of the older games enticing me are, you guessed it, made by Nintendo. <\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">TGB also points out that consumers might experience friction with the confusing concept around game key cards. There\u2019s evidence that people are <a href=\"https:\/\/www.reddit.com\/r\/NintendoSwitch\/comments\/1lbmipy\/psa_what_to_do_when_accidentally_buying_a\/\">accidentally buying the wrong version of a Switch game<\/a> now that some titles are available on both the current and previous generation. Undoubtedly, some are also bristling at the notion that key cards require you to download the game despite purchasing a physical copy. <\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">Amid all these considerations and asterisks, it\u2019s worth noting that Switch 2 numbers on the whole are promising. The console follow-up was <a href=\"https:\/\/www.polygon.com\/nintendo-switch-2\/606222\/switch-2-launch-sales-record\">breaking records a mere days after its release<\/a>, and it\u2019s been weeks since that point. Still, there\u2019s not a simple way to slice the narrative around the console, is there? It\u2019s hard to say how this compares to Switch or competitors when Nintendo had way more units available for purchase from the get-go. Would the PS5 have fared better if people could actually find it in its first couple of years? <\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">The first Switch also had way fewer physical games at launch than its younger sibling. And Nintendo didn\u2019t make review units available for Switch 2 for major publications, including Polygon, which impacts coverage of games, as publications have to scramble to write about more big ticket items in a timely manner. Consumers may not know what\u2019s worth playing beyond <em>Mario Kart World<\/em>, and this early on, they might not care \u2014 the racer hasn\u2019t lost its sheen yet.<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">As time goes on, the narrative around Switch 2 and third-party options may change. People might buy Nintendo consoles for Nintendo games, but the first Switch was still a favored repository of indie games. Then again, things worked out that way because of timing. In 2017, most major games were shacked to TVs and monitors. These days? The number of high-powered portable machines is becoming hard to keep track of, and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.polygon.com\/xbox\/605713\/xbox-ally-x-handheld-test-review-weight-heavy\">there are only more coming<\/a>. <\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\"><strong>Correction (June 19)<\/strong>: This story originally stated that <em>Cyberpunk 2077<\/em> released for Switch. We have updated to clarify that it has only been released for Switch 2.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.polygon.com\/608015\/nintendo-switch-2-third-party-game-sales\">Source<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Since time immemorial, the axiom\u2019s been that you buy a Nintendo console to play Nintendo games.
