Ok, I've had a change of opinion on something... Metroid Prime 4 should be a launch title for Switch 2! Now that we can presume that the new Mario Kart is a launch title I think it just makes sense. MK will be super fun and basically everyone will buy it... - ThreadSky

But the kind of people buying Day 1 hardware will be looking for something a bit "meatier" to dive into and MP4 would be the perfect title to sit alongside MK for that purpose.
MP4 will also look phenomenal with some Switch 2 upgrades and can be the go to for "Look at what Switch 2 can do!"...

So buying Metroid Prime 4 can become synonymous with buying a Switch 2 (like BotW was for Switch 1).
And then, the beautiful cherry on top, we already know MP4 is coming to Switch 1 so the 100 million + users who don't upgrade straight away can still have that new thing to play!

So new Switch 2 users want to buy it because it's the only single player focussed first party title and it's a real looker that shows off the hardware well *and* all the people who don't care about the looks will be happy to have something new to play while everyone else is excited for Switch 2.

The downside is that, yeah, more people will be talking about Mario Kart than Metroid Prime when they're both releasing on the same day... but if it's as good as we're all hoping, it might not take as much attention away as we fear and could be mutually beneficial for both games.
