I bought a switch to play Zelda and Metroid. I honestly bought and played some of those other games, but really wasn't into them. now it collects dust
am I part of their 'ecosystem'? I guess. but I don't think I'm the kind of customer that really supports their platform
Nintendo is different in that they make profit off hardware. If you buy zero games you are still a successful customer for them.You’re most likely the majority of what the Nintendo audience is, people that buy the hardware, buy zelda, mario kart, smash bros, and nothing else for years. Thats why the charts are always filled with evergreens, its people buying a switch and the same 5-10 games
Sony and microsoft need you to be spending lots of money on software/services so if you are not part of their “ecosystem” and only buy a game or two they actually lost money on you as a customer.
