> Recently I heard the Nintendo Switch is opening the doors to 3rd party developers. I think Unity already has a module for creating games for the switch, so the flood is coming, if it hasn't already.

There's 4338 games on the Switch[1] and the eShop has terrible discoverability. The flood is already there.

For comparison, the Wii only had 1595 games released over its existence[2].

Admittedly nowhere near as bad as Steam though, which had 10,263 games released in 2020 alone[3].
