According to comparative data on social media platforms, the exclusive game lineup of Nintendo's new generation handheld console Switch2 is rapidly accumulating. Its number is said to have exceeded that of Sony PS5, which has been on sale for many years. This phenomenon has triggered widespread discussion among players about the different console strategies of the two giants.

A comparison list circulated on social media shows that although Switch 2 has not been on the market for a long time, its number of exclusive games is said to have reached 22, while the number of exclusive games for PS5 since its release in 2020 is 18.The analysis points out that this statistic includes some remastered versions of works launched on other platforms into the exclusive lineup of Switch 2, but the results still show Nintendo’s strength in new exclusives.

In contrast, affected by the epidemic and initial supply chain issues, PS5 not only faced supply difficulties, but its launch exclusive game lineup was also relatively weak. For example, first-party masterpieces such as "Horizon West" were forced to be postponed.Some critics pointed out that compared with the previous generation PS4, the PS5 lacks the stamina to attract buyers with platform-specific games.

Nintendo and PlayStation are using very different strategies to attract consumers.Nintendo continues to use its strong first-party games (such as Mario Kart: World, Pokémon Legends: Z-A, and the upcoming Metroid Prime 4) as the core attraction of its hardware.Sony is gradually turning to cross-platform distribution, no longer focusing solely on PS5 exclusives.The company began porting games to the PC platform years ago, and has recently increased support for other platforms, including Xbox.

Although Switch 2 has also begun to accept more third-party 3A masterpieces (such as "Cyberpunk 2077"), so far, its dominant sales force still comes from exclusive games.
