And it will still not improve the sales of the Switch 2.
Isn't it selling well?
Unfortunately, yes. They outsold switch 1 by about 2 mil so far in it's first year and there's still a few months to go. I will eventually get one I'm sure, but probably second hand.
I mean, wasn't switch 2 the fastest selling console of all time?
No, the fastest selling NINTENDO console (IIRC)
I think I was misremembering a few recent milestones actually. The Switch recently overtook DS to become Nintendo's best overall selling, while Switch 2 has already sold more than WiiU.
Selling more than the WiiU is a very low bar.
Agreed but it's still remarkable given the time frame.
Honestly, it could hurt it sales a lot. Historically, a lot of successful Nintendo systems had backwards comparability as a major selling point.
I don't understand your point. How is blocking emus ruining the Switch 2's backward compatibility?
I'm saying that blocking backwards comparability can hurt sales, not the other way around. If the Switch 2 can run GBA or DS game, it'd be a huge selling point.
Oh ok, so not really relevant to the anti-emu topic—but I totally agree with your point. Imagine if they released an attachment that let you assemble the joycons and the screen in a vertical position for DS games? If they have the google thing for Virtual Boy, I don't see how they couldn't make this possible. In the meantime, I play GBA to 3DS games on my hacked 3DS.
