Nintendo's Switch 2 has struggled during the holiday season, lagging behind its predecessor from 2017. Factors like the current economy and a lack of major Western titles contributed to a 35% sales drop in the US and declines in other regions.

With new titles planned for 2026, including a much-anticipated 3D Mario game, will these releases help boost Switch 2's appeal?
