Why is there such hype about Nintendo products?

Helo,

I recently read an article about products that had a big boom because of the Corona era. This article also called "Nintendo Articles". But where does it come from that Nintendo has such hype right now?

Animal crossing is new outside and Nintendo is just awesome.

As if suddenly everyone just bought Nintendo parts and got nothing, PS4, etc? I don't think everyone thinks that way

Home console - Provides plenty of activity at home (for both children and adults)

But why all of a sudden Nintendo, why not PS4 or XBOX that are more familiar?

I would guess about Animal Crossing as the game has a huge community and they have been waiting for a new game for 6 years.

But why did it only hit Nintendo. PS4 and XBOX are almost not mentioned

The corona situation is always somewhat unclear. You never know what tomorrow is.

The two week rule is known, I think.

People wanted distraction in the event of quarantine.

Why should a company not benefit from this?

People have more money than usual because hairdresser, restaurant, etc. Are not inside. And they are willing to spend more.

Because there's not so much employment for children on the PS4 and XBOX, so really child-friendly things (I say up to 10 years). If I'm at home in the home office with 2 children of primary school age, I would also make sure that there's a console that both parties can use. Apart from that, the Nintendo Switch has a really wide range of games, also a lot of cheap games in the Eshop

Nintendo has been around for ages, even if the younger ones are more familiar with PS and XBOX. Probably because of that. And, if I see it correctly, Nintendo is a little cheaper to buy (usually).

Really, the switch didn't know that much. If so, understandable xD

Animal Crossing is not available for the PS4 and XBOX. The XBOX has not released exclusive "bomb titles" for a long time, who should buy them now? And the PS4 just had no great releases (only FF7, but that will be too special for many. Not everyone gets that)

Because Animal Crossing is an exclusive title

I don't know, has something new "big" come out of the PS4 or XBox lately?

Animal Crossing is an exclusive title

Not informed about it, but these are always the ones that are addressed at YTbern

In addition to the reasons already mentioned by others, it is also worth mentioning that PS4 and Xbox One are at the end of their lifespan, which is why they are not currently being bought as much.
