Third-party game sales on the Nintendo Switch 2 have reportedly fallen short of expectations, with one publisher stating that sales are below our lowest estimates. This raises questions about the console’s market appeal for non-first-party titles. Despite these challenges, CD Projekt Reds VP of business development emphasized the enduring importance of physical games for Nintendo fans, highlighting a unique aspect of the gaming community. Interestingly, the best-selling third-party title on the new console is Cyberpunk 2077, which stands out for being fully available on a cartridge, unlike many other titles that utilize Game-Key cards.
