As to what I'd actually consider good, beyond just notable and not actively awful? From what I've heard, Sea of Thieves eventually became good. Rare Replay also good but, really, thats a compilation with DVD extras-type features included. Otherwise... hmm.... whatever the Insomniac game on XBO was called. The latest Call of Duty if you actually count Activision stuff. Uhh.... Ori 2 and... Cuphead? Killer Instinct (XBO one) might have also passed muster, Sony eventually purchased the team that made that, didn't they? Hi-Fi Rush looked good. Pentiment looked... high concept, and that other one, the Honey I Shrunk the Kids game.This is phrased as if Xbox has had a notable good release at some point after the 360 era, if so I would genuinely like to know what would qualify, lol (the only thing that comes to mind for me is ori which is like a decade old, or something that just passes the "serviceable" threshold like the newest forza title).
While it's possible that parents see "Switch 2" and, like the WiiU, say "why not just get/stay with the OG switch", but I wouldn't bet on it.
To me "Fan fave" doesn't necessarily mean commercially succesful, a "fan fave" could be a cult classic. Nonetheless, I agree that it was a good idea, economically, for sony to can Twisted Metal and TLoU factions after the concord disaster.
All and all a sorry lot compared to Nintendo or even Sony where you can just sort of go down the list and list game after game.
edit: Oh yeah, almost forgot. Crackdown 3. Now I know what you're all saying, that game reviewed terrible. But it was shat upon for being "dated" at that point, basically being a 360 game. But I love that era of games and Crackdown looked like good, clean, unpretentious fun. Port that shit to Switch and I'd gladly pay 20 dollars for a physical copy of it.
