| Barkley said: The Rumoured specs will kill third party support from certain developers/publishers in the long run... soon we'll be at the stage where games barely run on the OG PS4, never mind the Switch. Bioware, Bethesda, Rockstar. Developers like this won't stick around long if the device only has 4gb of ram as rumoured. The Switch will definitely get better third party support than the WiiU though, but I certainly expect it to die down after the initial year or two. |
I don't think its support will die down, but I expect western companies to not bring their massive games to the system. Sure, they will port as many last gen games as they can, but probably won't bother with titles that really need muscle. That doesn't mean titles like the CoDs, the FIFAs and the ACs of the world won't come, they are made with so many configurations in mind it would be dumb not just port them. I think the bulk of the console's 3rd party is going to be japanese companies. This thing is going to dominate the handheld market, specially once the 3DS and the Vita are discontinued, and that would leave it in a position of monopoly (on a reduced market, but monopoly nonetheless). If a japanese game can fit on it, it will be ported.
