Looking at sales figures, I'd say it is more likely it sold well because it had software people wanted at a lower price point than the rest of the industry. Also, there is some truth to the "kids" thing - which has long worked for Nintendo, and I don't know why that makes "seereeus gaymerz" so personally affronted by its success.

Mario Kart 8 alone has sold almost as much as the Xbox One! The majority of people buying it don't care about specs or graphics nearly as much as games they want to play.

I mean, the PS5 hasn't really had an exclusive killer app yet, 3 years into its life. The XBSX doesn't have exclusives at all due to Microsoft's new strategy. Gaming PC's are not exactly mass-market, though I suspect Valve's gambit may pay off over the mid-term if they can sell the concept to the non-enthusiast.

Even as an enthusiast, I probably play my Switch as much as my other consoles combined and about equal to my "PC's" (including the deck). It has games I want to play, and the portability is handy with a toddler in the house and living in a place where I take trains everywhere (Europe).
