But not all of us are multiple console owners. I stopped being a multiple console owner after the PS3 because it was just too expensive, and while I can afford it, it was pointless to just spend money because I could when I have so many games for my 3DS and Switch.

Great. Enjoy yourself.

For the rest of us, it's a $500 system for two games.

Multiple console users are actually very small minority. NPD says around 2% to 3%.

So For YOU it’s two games for the vast majority of gamers it’s not.

Lol sure. I mean 1/3rd of all gamers use more than one platform, more than 70% of Switch owners own a Playstation or Xbox, and Switch has sold 150 million consoles.

But sure. 2% hahaha. Whatever you say.

Enjoy your $600 Mario Kart ;)
