Don't forget, the quality and quantity of indie games is much greater than that of the Wii. Even shovelware now is of decent quality or it can't compete in a market where games like Stardew Valley are the norm and not the exception.

Also, look at the history of diminishing returns. Quality console games started hitting heavy diminishing returns with the Xbox 360/PS3 graphically. Games from that era can be easily ported to Switch, and there are many of those games. Fishing back catalogs from the Wii or even Wii-U was a near unacceptable step back in graphics. Now, there is a huge back catelog of games that many of us have never played and they are effectively minor relative steps back in graphics and design.

Throw in the interesting novelty of being able to play these well developed full console games on the front porch instead of in front of a dedicated television, and you have a formula to create wide appeal in play experiences to CORE GAMERS and casual gamers alike, instead of just one or the other, which was the appeal of the last two Nintendo consoles.

Last thing, the rep of exceeding expectations creates interest from developers. If the money is there, and Nintendo supports their 3rd party, I think we will see a bright 3rd party future on the console.



I don't need your console war.
It feeds the rich while it buries the poor.
You're power hungry, spinnin' stories, and bein' graphics whores.
I don't need your console war.

NO NO, NO NO NO.
