The money making machine Nintendo have with the Switch is incredible, and I do not think they expected anything like this. Gamers may recall that the US launch practically asked fans to take it easy on them wrt things like joycon drift as it was make or break time for the company after the mess of the Wii U.

But it paid off, and if they manage to carry this momentum over a generational transition it will be very hard to see how anyone is going to displace their position, especially with the younger end of the audience, though it seems likely most of their revenue is with the older crowds.
