Nintendo switch had 527 games released this year

Xbox had 355 games

PS5 had 395 games

I’m sure there are other factors (like quality of the games, platform exclusivity, etc), but switch is still doing pretty good for an 8 year old console that’s too weak to run new multi-plat games.

There were too few submissions for the Best Nintendo Switch category this year. The award committee, therefore, decided to cancel the category.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I would assume they’re taking about platform exclusives. I bet Nintendo is the only company making games just for Nintendo platforms. Any other company making games for the Switch has a strong inventive to port their game to other, more powerful platforms.

  • xbox series has 3,285 total games
