What was Nintendo's biggest mistake?

The original Nintendo Switch outsold both the PS4 and Xbox One, then survived almost the entire current generation. Now people are asking if Switch 2 can survive against PS6 and the next Xbox. But the hardware gap Switch 1 had to overcome was way bigger than the gap Switch 2 will face. So this is actually a less difficult scenario than Switch 1 had to fight through, and Switch 1 not only survived, It dominated.

Sektori’s solo developer Kimmo Lahtinen can now pay himself a living salary thanks to the Nintendo Switch 2 version of the game. Lahtinen is from Finland and worked for 13 years at Housemarque on games like Resogun and Returnal before creating Sektori all by himself over more than four and a half years. It is a fast twin-stick shooter with roguelike elements and a strong techno soundtrack that feels a lot like Geometry Wars. The game released on Steam, PlayStation 5 and Xbox in late 2025 and received very good reviews, with a 97% positive rating on Steam. Even with the praise, Lahtinen only covered his basic costs and paid himself no salary, as he said: “but that still leaves me with zero salary for 4.5 years.” The Nintendo Switch 2 version that launched changed everything. “I’m happy to now report that with the Sektori Switch 2 launch I’ve pretty much recouped a living salary for myself too. Total sales are at about 30,000. The Switch 2 launch has been very well received so thank you everyone who’s jumped aboard.”

Do review scores matter to you? Does it influence your decision to buy and support a game?

Kena was funded by Sony. Imagine the studio you funded saying they want to work on a Nintendo IP 😭💀

Prediction: decompilations will be big selling point of the steam machine
