There's a part of me that's worried about the success of Switch 2 for the gaming industry. If it succeeds, then the floodgates will be opened for $80 games, bad business practices, paying for instruction manuals, overpriced accessories, more anti-consumer policies and an even harder push for all digital. If it fails or even performs very average, then Sony will have a strong monopoly on console gaming leading to more anti-consumer tactics, higher prices and no competition.

What's the comparison, is that good or bad

Well the previous record seems to have been the PS4 which sold 1M in 24 hours so the Switch 2 has tripled that. I don't really remember the PS4 being supply constrained. The OG Switch sold 2.something million in it's first 4 weeks.

The Steam Deck has sold roughly 4M units since 2022 so the Switch 2 has sold 75% of the units the Steam Deck has sold in 1/1201 of the time.

But GAF said this was another WiiU situation…

I believe some will still say PSVR2 is a success.
