Is it lazy to rerelease old movies onto Blu-Ray for full price with no new content instead of making brand new movies?

Also, it's not instead of, it's in addition to. Nintendo porting Mario Kart 8 to Switch allowed that team to make a new IP in ARMS, porting NSMBU allowed that team to make Mario Maker 2

Same goes for other publishers. Porting old entries in Mega Man, Resident Evil, Street Fighter, etc did not prevent Capcom from releasing games like Monster Hunter World, Resident Evil 7, Devil May Cry, etc.

Releasing previous gen games on a current platform let's people replay games they enjoy or play games that they are interested in but never had the chance to play.

It's still diverting manpower away from the creation of fresh new content though. A company ultimately only has so many employees and studios.

How much manpower/resources did games like MK8D or NSMBUD take away? Like I said, both of the teams also released brand new games a few months later so best case scenario we are looking at ARMS & Mario Maker releasing slightly sooner if those ports weren't released.

What is better, Mario Kart Deluxe in April followed by ARMS in June or just ARMS in April? How about Super Mario Deluxe in January followed by Mario Maker 2 in June or just Mario Maker 2 in March?

You also said people are too dumb to know they are getting ripped off but I'll give you my reason for rebuying those 2 games. I bought a Wii U in Spring of 2014, NSMB was bundled and I also picked up MK8 along with it.

4 years later i no longer own a Wii U but my 2 oldest kids are now 4 & 6 and are really getting interested in gaming and always want to play with me so I picked up MK8D & NSMB because those 2 games are a perfect introduction to gaming for young kids and we can all 3 play together at the same time.

Would you say that I was ripped off by having to pay full price to for 2 games that have given me dozens of hours of fun with my kids and let us bond over a common interest?

The combined expenditure of all the mountains of Wii U ports though could've expedited development of new titles.

I didn't single you out, I was referring to the fact that, as human beings, most consumers are idiots (as most people in general are idiots) and likely don't even realize they're being ripped off. The company exploits their ignorance.

The combined expenditure of the 4 (4 ports in 2 years is a mountain?) internally developed Wii U ports would lead to one small-medium game at best. But even so, that's not how it works because each of these late ports were developed by a different team so you have to look at it from a team to team basis. All of the teams (except Retro) who have released a Wii U port on Switch have also released a brand new title as well. Best case scenario each new game may have released slightly earlier or had slightly more content.

I know you didnt single me out, I'm explaining to you that there are legitimate reasons why someone would be more than willing to pay full price for a late port. Wanting to replay a game you really like but no longer own or wanting to try a game from a system you never owned are completely valid reasons for buying late ports and they dont make you an idiot or ignorant or ripped off.

7nm fabs are up and running now, nVidia just needs to work with TSMC and bring the design over. (Not as simple as it sounds sadly.)

Yeah. Easy doubling in performance with lowered clocks+voltages+binning over the X1 at the same TDP.

On the bandwidth front, I would assume Nintendo would make a few cut backs there, Half of 137GB/s is still a respectable 68.5GB/s of bandwidth, which is still a substantial increase over the current Switch.

Yeah it is. But the same held true to the Tegra X1 (Tegra Drive CX/PX) and X2 (Tegra Drive PX2).
Tegra can scale upwards and downwards fairly well in power consumption... Tegra X1 and Tegra X2 were 20w parts in the "drive' configuration, where-as Xavier is 30w... And Tegra X1 was still forced to scale downwards for the Switch anyway.

But... In saying that, it is a massive chip, so it would likely benefit from being fabbed at 7nm which will solve the bulk of issues anyway... But the real benefit would be the big uptick in bandwidth plus a more modern and efficient GPU architecture.
