This a short analysis to understand Switch’s success but this does not indicate that Switch has completely overtaken other consoles sales or prediction that it will do so. One of the biggest factors in boost console sales is its exclusive games which are unique, extensive and fun. More and more players want to add Switch in their list in-order to enjoy those fresh titles which are not available on any other platform.
