Game makers want to make games for the most popular consoles, and gamers want to buy the consoles with the best game selection. So there is a natural convergence on one or two platforms, with Nintendo occupying a special cultural niche. Even with the enormous resources of Samsung it would be difficult to displace Sony or Microsoft.
The Nintendo strategy is quite interesting, because they're basically content being the "second console" if it means being the second console in everybody's homes, and leaving MS and Sony to fight for top billing.
That's true and works well for them but on top of that they're also selling to a different market which the other consoles effectively don't serve - there is much more switch content targeted at/suitable for younger players than the other consoles.
It sorta garuantees you will outsell both the top consoles while low key dominating people's actual downtime. I can't hop over to my xbox for 30mins. I need a few hours at least.
