Nintendo switch had 527 games released this year

Xbox had 355 games

PS5 had 395 games

I'm sure there are other factors (like quality of the games, platform exclusivity, etc), but switch is still doing pretty good for an 8 year old console that's too weak to run new multi-plat games.
- There were too few submissions for the Best Nintendo Switch category this year. The award committee, therefore, decided to cancel the category.
  
  ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
- I would assume they're taking about platform exclusives. I bet Nintendo is the only company making games just for Nintendo platforms. Any other company making games for the Switch has a strong inventive to port their game to other, more powerful platforms.
- I'll add that according to that site:
  
  switch has 11,439 total games
  
  xbox series has 3,285 total games
  
  PS5 has 2,699 total games
  
  How many of those PS5 games are actually PS4 games?
That's fine. Nintendo would probably sue them for copyright something or other anyway. Like they do to everyone everywhere.
- What does that even mean...? Sue them for an award?
  
  They sued people for competing in a competitive game they made, so they're not above it.
  
  I would be unsurprised if Nintendo tried to sue a Patent Office for looking at Nintendos name on their own damn patent submission.
  
  At this point they'd probably sue their employees for uttering character names outside of work.
  
  It doesn't need to make sense. It just needs to paint companies in a bad light.
